Not precisely oracle, but related. Trying to set up user equivalence on redhat 5. When I ssh from node 2 to node 1, connecting as oracle, it works fine, no problems. But when I ssh from node 1 to node 2 as oracle, it immediately closes the connection after entering the password. This happens no matter what user id I connect from to the oracle account. I can ssh to other accounts on rac2, but not the oracle account. ssh_config and sshd_config are identical, as are hosts.allow and hosts.deny. Anyone have any ideas?
