Bug#526904: /usr/bin/ssh: ssh fails to execure command on remote side.
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.1p1-5
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/ssh
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello, I am tring to execute command on remote machine. Both machines have the
same hardware and the same Debian installation. When I try to do 'ssh -v host cmd'
ssh simply hags forever. If I use 'ssh -t host cmd' command is being executed. These
commands are made from command prompt by hands. Here is a log:
