Cowrie - server refused to allocate pty

[OliHebden]

Hi,

So I've customised cowrie with a custom userdb.txt, rebuilt the cowrie image and its up and running. I used "docker exec -it cowrie sh" to check the running container had the new userdb file and then attempted to connect via ssh to check the credentials.

They worked but I was met with the error "server refused to allocate pty" when I used the correct credentials. I've checked "lsof /dev/pts/*" in the running container and there isn't any zombie connections so I'm a bit confused as to why I'm getting this error?

Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

This seems a little more Cowrie related. You should check their Slack channel and GitHub page.
