I should see "foo" on my terminal when I run the following:
    ssh (options) localhost 'echo foo >/dev/tty' </dev/null >/dev/null

But I get:
    $ ssh localhost 'echo foo >/dev/tty' </dev/null >/dev/null
    bash: /dev/tty: No such device or address
    $ ssh -t localhost 'echo foo >/dev/tty' </dev/null >/dev/null
    Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
    bash: /dev/tty: No such device or address
    $ ssh -tt localhost 'echo foo >/dev/tty' </dev/null >/dev/null
    tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device
    Connection to localhost closed.

I'm using Fedora Core 5's openssh-4.3p2-4 .
