So I googled the error and checked serverfault, but the solutions didn't fit. Most results were problems with /dev/pts, but that is mounted. Other results are errors with git, but there is no git on the machine.
My account isn't blocked, I can still log in on the console. Other users also have this problem, so I don't think it has something to do with something that's in my .ssh/
I get this response with ssh -vv:

After this the session freezes. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
ssh user@host "/bin/bash -i"
to login?/dev/pt*
devices needed to be removed and manually re-added because they became corrupt. And in that case, using the work-around I listed above also worked.ssh user@host "/bin/bash -i
. Could you be more specific on what commands I have to run to fix this? How do I restore/dev/pt*
? Thanks.mount
, one of the lines outputted should be /dev/pts, make note of the options. Unmount withumount /dev/pts
and remount withmount -t devpts -o OPTIONS devpts /dev/pts
replacing OPTIONS with the options you observed prior to unmounting.
