[Fwd: Re: ssh error - no controlling tty] SOLVED
I have gotten to the bottom of my issue. It was not ssh it was one of the daemons I am starting out
of inittab. It was not sucessfully backgrounding so init never finished. Weird one. As always
thankyou for the help.

Thanks. But this is not working either. Here is the wierd thing. I have sshd running on the
device, and it is working correctly. I can ssh to the box all day, I just can not ssh out or to
localhost. Since "ssh -t" is not working what other advice might someone be able to bestow upon
me? Again thanks in advance.
