Log in as root on the client, and do

        egrep 'ttytype|stty' .[A-Za-z]*

One of the environment files likely has commands in it that depend on
having a pty allocated.  For non-login sessions, you can't depend on
having a pty.

Basically, you need to move those commands into a file that only gets
read when you're guaranteed that you have a pty.  For Bourne-like shells,
that's probably `.profile'.  For Csh-like shells, that's probably .login.
