CentOS: Server refused to allocate pty
The Problem
When I tried to login to my VPS using putty, It gave me message.
Server refused to allocate pty
And then I was not able to execute any commands.
The solution
Execute following two commands, and it should solve the problem.
/sbin/MAKEDEV pty
/sbin/MAKEDEV tty
I am using lxadmin, so I logged into lxadmin and run above commands from command center.
That’s it ! It works.
