ssh message: Warning: no access to tty

[Kent Stewart]

My 5.2-current system that I updated on 30 July is pretty useless. I 
don't know what all changed between 15 June and 30 july but I could ssh 
in on the 15 and a login in from a different computer on 30 July 
doesn't work. The world and kernel were rebuilt after 
the ../class/Makefile.inc error was fixed at 0920 UTC.

On the console itself, I can work from the cli but konsole sessions from 
KDE are left blank with no prompt or login. 

I get the warning message from the subject when I try to ssh in. I also 
don't get any startup sounds from KDE but I figure the change from snd 
and pcm to sound has something to do with that.

What I get from the console when I try to ssh in is the following:
opal sshd[]: error openpty: No such file or directory
opal sshd[] error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed.

What do I need to read about to get a working computer back? There 
wasn't any HEADSUP in /usr/src/UPDATING about serious changes between 
15 June and 31 July.

Currently, any portupgrade attempt fails because of a "clean error". I 
manually rebuilt everything needed by portupgrade and it still doesn't 
work.
