SSH Hangs after Password Prompt
I’ll tell you, sometimes you should never change a working thing. ;)
In my effort to update some systems to latest 2.6 and 2.4 kernels I came across a issue where ssh would prompt me for my password and then do nothing at all, just sit and hang in my terminal. The fix for this was pretty easy and actually came to me pretty quick (not sure why, most things have been taking me a while). Anyhow the problem was that I didnt add unixpty support to the kernel on this specific box. So a quick add then recompile and all was well again.
