Glibc 2.1 has the support for new pty system. I had the same problem.
>From Chages file in 2.2.x kernel:
Optional support for Unix98 pty devices has also been added. If you
want to use the Unix98 ptys, you should be running at least
glibc-2.0.9x, and you must switch completely to Unix98 pty's. The
general procedure for configuring Unix98 pty support is:
- Compile your kernel with CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS and CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS.
- mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
mkdir /dev/pts
- Add to /etc/fstab:
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
(Note: gid=5 is applicable for RedHat systems for which group "tty" has
gid 5. Adjust according to your distribution. Use mode=600 if you want
"mesg n" to be default.)
- Mount /dev/pts
I did this and sshd is working again.
