[Bug 1080621] Re: RequestTTY option is not respected when declared in .ssh/config

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I have been able to reproduce this on 12.10 (openssh-server
1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1). My gut feeling is that there is some kind of catch
that we're missing but I have been unable to find anything. So far it
does seem like a bug to me.

For a proper fix, the next step is to identify whether this bug is
present in the upstream project, introduced in the Debian packaging or
introduced in Ubuntu's modifications. If Ubuntu hasn't introduced the
problem, we should get a bug filed in the appropriate bug tracker. Are
you able to help with this, please?

Title:
  RequestTTY option is not respected when declared in .ssh/config

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Using this .ssh/config file on a up-to-date ubuntu 12.10 64bits using
  ssh 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1

    Host xxxx.xxxxxx.com
    RequestTTY yes

  $ ssh  xxxx.xxxxxx.com screen -x
  Error: "Must be connected to a terminal."    <--- config option is not respected !

  While entering the same config directly in the command line works
  nicely :

  $ ssh -o "RequestTTY yes" free.zboubi.com screen -x
  Works ok

  $ ssh -t free.zboubi.com screen -x
  Works ok
