Problem with SSH console

Greetings.

I have just been installing Conserver 8.1.12 on a Linux host in order to use
a mix of fitted serial ports and outbound connections to certain hosts.
Most of this is working as expected, but I am having difficulty using SSH.
Basically, conserver seems to be cycling with repeated retries of the SSH
client.

I have tested the SSH client standalone and it works fine. e.g.

# ssh -v
OpenSSH_3.6.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
Options:
-l user Log in using this user name.
<snip>


# ssh -landyh 10.0.0.5
Password:
Last login: Tue Dec 27 00:24:30 2005 from 10.0.0.3
<snip>


If I run ps -ax I can see the execution attempts of the SSH client, but
these fail and a new one is spawned.

>From the log


[Tue Dec 27 01:18:01 2005] conserver (19791): [myhost] exit(255)
[Tue Dec 27 01:18:01 2005] conserver (19791): [myhost] automatic
reinitialization
[Tue Dec 27 01:18:02 2005] conserver (19791): [myhost] exit(255)
[Tue Dec 27 01:18:02 2005] conserver (19791): [myhost] automatic
reinitialization


Here is an extract from the conserver.cf file


console myhost {
type exec;

exec /usr/bin/ssh -lsshuser 10.0.0.5;
}

console catsw {
type exec;
exec telnet 10.0.0.8;
}


I imagine that this is not directly a conserver problem (or is it?).
Presumably the 255 is a return code from the SSH client?

I have tried the ssh command with and without the full pathname on the front
and with and without -t as an option.


Any ideas?


thanks
