server refused to allocate pty - FC2

[Mike Burger]

Today, I noticed that I couldn't log ssh into my FC2 workstation.

Additionally, I couldn't open up any additional Konsole terms and actually
get a command prompt.

When attempting to ssh in via putty from a Windows machine, I get this:

login as: mburger
Sent username "mburger"
mburger at winblows.bubbanfriends.org's password:
Server refused to allocate pty

This is a 2.5GHz Athlon, 512MB RAM.  Ran RHL9 like a champ until this past
weekend.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  If so, has anyone figured out how to
get around it?

Thanks.
