The problem is that you have an stty comand in your .cshrc or $(ENV) file 
depending upon the shell.  In each of the cases you described, your i/o
was being redirected to a non-tty hence the message.

The way to fix this is to put the stty commands into your .login file (or
the .profile file for ksh - assuming that $(ENV) is not .profile) and
the problems will go away.
