ssh question

Friends,

While i do an ssh to another machine as root i can do everything perfectly. But when i try it as oracle user, here is the output.

/home/oracle> ssh hp01
ssh: hp01: host nor service provided, or not known
/home/oracle>

Anybody has an input.

Thanks.

Shalom,

No hostname resolution as the oracle user?

Thats rather unusual.

Checklist:
sshd_config
ssh_config
perhaps there is an entry on one or both machines preventing ssh.

Perhaps there is no oracle user on host hp01.

As root, try this

ssh oracle@hp01

If that works, the issue is environment or configuration.

On the target host:
tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Then ssh to it. See if anything shows up on the log. If there is information it is likely to be helpful in the diagnosis.

As root it asks for the password.

root@hp01:/etc# ssh oracle@hp02
Password:

You are ssh'ing to hp01 or hp02 since the command you used in your last post is "ssh oracle@hp02" instead of "ssh oracle@hp01" ??

There was a bug in some older versions of openssh that caused this issue.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239

It's been resolved in more recent versions of openssh.

Mistakes in the config files.

Thanks Guys.
