Description Dax Kelson 2006-02-21 05:21:59 UTC

Description of problem:

When installing FC5 test releases or rawhide I've noticed that during the
install or inside of a rescue environment (very important!) I'm unable to use
ssh or scp.

It looks like this:

# scp localfile.txt 1.2.3.4:/tmp
Host key verication failed.
lost connection

Using verbose mode swich reveals this clue:

[snip a bunch of output]
debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address
Host key verication failed.
lost connection

Hmm, it's working just fine for me with today's rawhide.  Does /dev/tty exist? 
What type of hardware and what install type are you using?

Comment 2 Dax Kelson 2006-02-21 16:39:30 UTC

Did you try the rescue mode?

/dev/tty did exist

I was installing 32bit FC5test3 on AMD64 hardware.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2006-02-22 21:12:01 UTC

Aha, it's only a problem on tty and is fine on tty2.  And this is also related
to your problems with ctrl-c.  Why accessing /dev/tty from tty1 is returning
ENXIO is what I'm not clear on right now...

Comment 4 David Cantrell 2006-03-03 19:06:32 UTC

This problem has been corrected in CVS.  The tty1 shell doesn't get ENXIO when
accessing /dev/tty now.  I also modified init so that when you've booted rescue
mode, the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, and friends are not disabled.
