Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install shellinabox on a Ubuntu 10.4 based VPS
2. try to access it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Regardless of the service configuration, I always see:
forkpty() failed                                                                

Session closed.                                                                 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I tried it with:
- checkout from svn and building with INSTALL.Debian instructions
- download of shellinabox_2.10-1_amd64.deb

Please provide any additional information below.
Its on a Virtual Private Server

Check if /dev/ptmx exists. If not, try:
  mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
  chmod go+rw /dev/ptmx

/dev/ptmx existed and has permissions rw-rw-rw-. When strace'ing the process I 
got the above output.

I see "forkpty() failed" only sporadically.
