I see the same error when running against a host using Tailscale 1.66.4. @jtmathes have you seen this work on older Tailscale versions?
This is my first attempt, couldn't say if it's worked in the past or not. @oxtoacart
Listen I dont know how I did it; but I did have this bug. After hours with chatgpt and trying out ideas, it worked? I dont know exactly how but if you want the details, please contact me on discord, @nullptrexception. My dm's are open :)

However, one thing I can say is try changing ssh from "check" to "accept" because the channel occurs from Tailscale trying to make a interactive TTY to authenticate but it's a shortcut so it does not support that. However, please turn on Tailnet Lock before doing this for additional security.
