Isql doesn't work when logged in remotely.
Our database is housed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8). My version of isql is "unixODBC 2.2.11".

Issue:
If I log in to this box on the internal network, or over the VPN i can
type:
Code:
isql -Usa

And it will prompt for the password and connect.

Today I logged into our one of our public facing web servers ( Mac Xserve /w Leopard ) ...then logged into the same RHEL box from there ( ssh ) via internal network. So I'm still basically connecting from the same host yet when I type the same command it just gives me the help/syntax crap.

Is there some security setting I'm missing? Here's another thing ...I can
connect if:
I ssh into my workstation from the xServe then use SQSH.

My colleague can type the same command on the same box ( RHEL ) and have it work while on the VPN.

Any ideas?
