Er, yeah, -T will work, but of course you don't get an interactive shell. Works for one-off cmds or for running a shell script or something.

you should try. all -T does is not allocate a tty: most shells will still work. bash/zsh/rc do for sure.

Actually, I did try it, thinking that I may have misunderstood it for all this time. But no shell for me (Centos 5.5, bash).

it won't give you a prompt: try typing something, and you'll see it works fine (unless centos have done something funny).

Have you tried

    ssh -T foo bash -i
