"You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase. lost connection"
Last month I asked about this error w/ regards to x11-ssh-askpass. Basically I've narrowed the problem down to wdm, X, and all the apps running in X don't have any tty. Exactly what the error says oddly enough :). All of my /dev/tty* are chmod 666 and scp/ssh work from an xterm or vt. When I do a ps aux the TTY column is '?' where as the regular vt's and the apps running in a vt are a tty1 and so on. I am curious as to what others see when doing this. (try M-! tty from emacs.) This appears to be the problem. With no tty against the xclients, x11-ssh-askpass can't work. Does anyone have and ideas?
