All I can do is point you in a direction that makes sense. First thing is to double check that iptables is not interfering. "service iptables off". Second, there is probably a config file for the db that acts as a master control, for mysql it's /etc/my.cnf etc. No clue what it is for oracle, but check it to be sure it's not blocking anything there. You can always lock it down later. I seem to recall something about oracle environment variables that have to be set, and oracle requiring a shell other than /sbin/nologin or /bin/false. No clue how accurate this is. -- Jim Perrin System Administrator - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
