Nov 29 13:02:31 horse sshd[13431]: error: grantpt: Bad file number
Nov 29 13:02:31 horse sshd[13431]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed

Login stucks half way, no login prompt is given..

I am able to resolve the issue, after rebuilding ptym/ptys with insf, and killing old sessions. But exact cause I do not know..

Thanks and regards
Prashant


Thanks in advance
