IH> "cannot open /dev/tty: permission denied"  message.

This sounds as a problem of standard handles permissions to me. I'm not
expereinced in C library to qualify it more exactly.
I use such a hack against this, depending on the situattion:
1. -t parameter for your ssh client 
2. /usr/bin/script -qt0 /dev/null before your ssh command

or sometimes both of them.
Sometimes some of those hack leads to higher CPU consumption, so I omit the one.

Since some version of freebsd the devices are kept in devfs and chmod may not
work ( although it did recently for me for some of a directory in /dev, or a
symlink, I just don't remember).
You should define a 'mode' rule in some of your /etc/devfs.* configs,
depending on your particular need.
