Emacs SSH... You have no controlling tty
Debian potato
GNU Emacs 20.7.2
SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5.
I recently installed Debian on my laptop and I'm very happy with it.
Unfortunately, I cannot use my favorite editor to check the cvs status
of files that are accessible only through a ssh connection.
My friend has the same laptop with RedHat, and when he uses VC or
PCL-CVS to examine the status of the files, Emacs simple ask him its
password on the other machine... when mine fails with the message
Message: cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
Message: Parser Error: 'You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase.'
I took a lot of time trying to understand better the default
configuration of ssh (which is more in Debian that it is in
RedHat ... at least is seems so) but I couldn't figure why it fails.
In fact, it may or may not be related to ssh.
Chris.
