What are the permissions of your home dir itself? 777 will stop it from working for security reasons...

on testing server my home permissions are as follows :

Code:
pwd
/home/oracle/.ssh
[oracle@testing .ssh]$ ls -ltr /home/
drwxrwxrwx 46 oracle oinstall  12288 Oct  8 16:11 oracle

Yes, 777 will stop it from working.

It shouldn't be 777 anyway. Try 750

I changed permissions to

chmod 750 /home

now i can connect testing server from site server without password. ( thanks a lot for ur kind support ).


one thing i want to ask that changing /home/oracle permissions to 750 will result in something abnormal functionality in running oracle e-buiness suite application ??

i have to do the work i done above on my production server.

i am getting following error :

chmod 750 /home/
chmod: changing permissions of `/home/': Operation not permitted

to your first question: No.

/home is (should be) owned by root, not oracle.

there was a directory shared via samba (/home/oracle/pfl_opm)

now this directory is not accesses via samba after changing above permission from 777 to 750.

What i do now ?

---------- Post updated at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:43 PM ----------

these are contents from samba :

Code:
[opm]
        path = /home/oracle/pfl_opm
        writeable = yes
;       browseable = yes
        valid users = opm

this directory is not going to access from samba after making above changes.

Change /home/oracle to 755

Changing /home to 750 is not a good idea. 755 for that is normal.
