ssh and keyboard interaction bug?

[Frank Loeffler <knarf.loeffler@freenet.de>]

Hi,

in a pure64 environment I installed ssh version 1:3.8p1-3. I tried the 
binary package and compiled it from the (Debian-)source, but I have the 
same problem with both:

ssh (the client) cannot get interactive with the user. This prevents 
first to log into a machine with an unknown hostkey, since it would have 
to ask whether to add this to the known_hosts file and it also prevents 
ssh from asking for a password, so only key-based authentication works.

On the other hand, loggin into the machine is not problem, sshd works fine.

Does someone else also see that or could it be some misconfiguration on 
my side or the fact that this is running inside a chroot?

thanks, Frank
