RE: Linux ssh Logon error prompt

Dear Gurus;
Thank you for the massive support. I am indeed humbled. It turns out there was a typo as seen below in the /etc/profile :

if [$SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ];
Once I included a space as below:
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ];
The problem went away.

Hi Ndidi,

It looks to me like a typo in the shebang line. Could you check the _first_ line of these files (on the server that you are using ssh to access):

    ~/.profile

    ~/.bashrc

    ~/.bash_profile

    

    and any shell scripts that are called from these files.

    

    The first line often has something like '#!/bin/bash', but in these
    files it is not needed. I suspect that in one of these files there
    may be a stray square bracket like '#![...'. It could also be a typo
    in /etc/profile, but that would affect every account.

    

    Cheers,

    Tony

      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.
