Dear Justin;
I have checked the permission on 2 of the nodes and the permissions are just as 
you specified below.

The error indicates, to me at least, that there is some kind of problem with 
the Bash shell executable. Have you confirmed that /bin/bash actually exists? 
Are the permissions of the executable set correctly? Here's how they look on an 
OL6 VM I have running:

[root@12cR1EE ~]# ls -l /bin/bash-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 903272 Dec 19  2012 
/bin/bash

Dear Gurus;
I have a problem I stumbled upon and I am hoping you can direct me on a fix 
even though this is a Linux question and sort of trivial.

The Environment is Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 (x86-64). I am configuring some 
Linux servers for an oracle installation. 
I noticed that after setting up the environments and user equivalence using 
sshUserSetup.sh included in the 11.2.0.3 GI package, using ssh to log on to 
another server succeeds but throws the following error after login:

-bash: [/bin/bash: no such file or directory
This problem does not happen when I log on to any users shell normally, it only 
does using ssh to another server. 
I have checked the $PATH variables and /etc/profile, the .bash_profile for all 
the users and all the servers.I also tried loading the path variables in 
.bashrc. I have created another user afresh and tested and it still gives the 
same error. 

At a point I thought it was the "PermitUserEnvironment" directive in 
sshd_config which was causing the problem and set it to "yes" but the problem 
still persists.

I am at a loss to where this problem is coming from.Could it be an edit I made 
or something wrong elsewhere?
Your keen eyes are needed.

Thanks in advance.
