Hi Andy I just had the same problem, and solved it changing the permisssions following your suggestion. Speaking with our security group, they explained me that like ssh works with root group privileges, it needs that the rw flag for the group be enabled. If you ls -l /dev/tty*, you can see that... 1.- Any non-active terminal is owned by root:root 2.- Any active terminal is owned by the associated user and by the tty group, ans has an 620 permissions. These settings are assigned dinamically. They told me telefonically that in a first look, like the owner and permissions of an active terminal are changed dinamically, there are not security problems for an active tty (nobody can read the tty traffic), but in any case they will study the case and answer me. They suggested me to set the permissions for /dev/tty* to 660. Now my ssh is working.
