 Of course, without the -t, stty doesn't print anything!

[root at angel named]# ssh evilxander sh -c 'set; echo stty:;stty -a;echo
tty:;tty'

 Didn't seem to make a difference to the output. I tried;

[root at angel named]# ssh evilxander sh -c 'stty -a 1>&1'
select: Bad file descriptor

 Gah. I give up.
