I've confirmed that this issue occurs when starting the opendkim daemon
directly and is not an issue with start-stop-daemon or the
/etc/init.d/opendkim script.  I've also confirmed that the problem
occurs whether I start the daemon as a non-root user via sudo or as user
root without sudo.  The following does NOT start the opendkim daemon
approximately 10% of the time.

    ssh -tt root@maverick '/usr/sbin/opendkim -x /etc/opendkim.conf -u
opendkim -P /var/run/opendkim/opendkim.pid -p inet:8891@localhost'

I see essentially identical behavior for the dk-filter daemon.
Additionally, the behavior is the same for 10.04 lucid, 10.10 maverick,
and 11.04 beta 2 natty.  I have NOT been able to replicate the problem
on 9.10 karmic (but since it is a timing issue, I'm not sure if this
really is a new issue introduced since karmic).

Adding "&& sleep 1" to the command keeps the pty open long enough for
the daemon to be launched properly.  With the one-second sleep in place,
I have not be able to replicate the issue.

Title:
  /etc/init.d/opendkim fails to start opendkim when run over ssh with a
  pseudo-tty

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: opendkim

  Without a pty, opendkim start and restart properly launch the opendkim milter daemon:
  $ ssh -T ubuntu@192.168.2.117 sudo /etc/init.d/opendkim restart
  Restarting OpenDKIM: opendkim.

  But if I force pty allocation (as I do in my Capistrano deployments), the opendkim daemon is NOT started:
  $ ssh -tt ubuntu@192.168.2.117 sudo /etc/init.d/opendkim restart
  Restarting OpenDKIM: opendkim.
  Connection to 192.168.2.117 closed.

  I will also report this issue to the opendkim team as I'm not sure if
  this is Ubuntu- or Debian-specific.
