Description

I see this error whenever I try to connect.

/usr/local/bin/mosh: Did not find mosh server startup message. (Have you installed mosh on your server?)

Locale is exactly same between the server and the client, being ko_KR.UTF-8.
I have installed mosh on the server correctly (though I could not find any setup guides).
The client is running macOS 12.0.1 and the server is running Ubuntu 20.04.
All mosh-related commands are on PATH on both client and server.
Edit: I believe this is caused by the ssh server not being for shell, but a custom one with its own commands, not sure how to handle this situation. Maybe there could be a way to start the mosh-server from outside ssh?
