Re: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
Indeed! It turns out I was using c:\WINDOWS\System32\ssh.exe, which I have
no idea how it got there... I installed openssh and the problem was fixed.
Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, how does a program check if stdin is a "terminal"?
My xterm looks like a terminal to me but apparently the windows version of
ssh.exe couldn't figure that out...
