--- Begin Message ---Package: openssh Version: 1:5.3p1-2 Severity: minor It seems that by default (i.e. without -t or -T ssh option), tty allocation is done only when one doesn't provide a command. If the user provides a command, no tty allocation occurs by default: ypig:~> ssh localhost echo \$TERM ypig:~> ssh -t localhost echo \$TERM xterm-debian Connection to localhost closed. This behavior is not documented in the ssh/sshd man pages. In the ssh man page, I can only see: If a pseudo-terminal has been allocated (normal login session), the user may use the escape characters noted below. but this is very ambiguous (what is a "normal login session"?). Also, I wonder whether there's a difference between "pseudo-tty" and "pseudo-terminal"; the man page should be consistent. The sshd man page has: command="command" Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for authentication. The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored. The command is run on a pty if the client requests a pty; otherwise it is run without a tty. [...] but this is just documentation about command="...". -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
