having trouble connecting to a ssh connection to a remote computer

[Steve Holmes]

I had that very thing happen to me recently on one of my local boxes
here.  Check the permissions on the /dev files.  Namely, /dev/pty/*
which get created dynamically or /dev/ttyp* if you aren't using the
newer style.  On my machine, somehow those perms got set to
read-only.  I think it happened to me when I migrated some stuff from
another hard drive.  It should be world writable.  Sorry I'm not
clearer than this but I'd have to go over there and look at all the
dev files I messed with.  It is mainly terminal realated stuff I'm
talking about.  Changing the perms fixed it for me.
