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?
Did you try the rescue mode? /dev/tty did exist I was installing 32bit FC5test3 on AMD64 hardware.
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...
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.
