OpenSSH_4.3p2 fails to create a pty session

Wed Aug 16 07:10:25 EST 2006

I am out of ideas about what the problem is.  I am using the default 
sshd_config installed by the port.  I can authenticate, copy files, and 
start processes, but sshd fails to create a tty session.  This happens 
from remote machines and creating a session from the host machine.  I 
find the following under messages.

Aug  8 19:32:16 mongoloid sshd[44626]: fatal: mm_send_fd: sendmsg(4): 
Bad file descriptor
Aug  8 19:32:16 mongoloid sshd[44626]: error: close(s->ptymaster/0): Bad 
file descriptor
Aug  8 19:32:16 mongoloid sshd[44629]: fatal: mm_receive_fd: recvmsg: 
expected received 1 got 0

And here is a debug script from sshd.
