Re: Xterm issues

i had the same problem with WRQ just yesterday...

• Xterm to an AIIX box over SSH connection using my laptop. i connected as root.
• do an su - oracle.
• tried stuff but didn't work.

just had to connect as user oracle from the laptop, so no "su" is done. this works fine. i can start OUI, etc.

SSH can recognise the first user who connected (root in my case), so if you "su", the authentication is lost hence SSH refuses any connection from the laptop.

does that sound right ???

is it possible for you to connect directly?

thanks
