Re: two users on same machine, one can ssh to another machine, the other can't



I was running ssh from B's system prompt. I never thought that someone
had wrapped ssh in a script buried in B's PATH - but it was. (And
under the restricted shell - see reply to Richard - I did not see which
ssh was running, I had to dig for it.) In that shell was the line
"Authorisation failed . . ." - and it was not on the basis of an
attempt at running the ssh, but on some other security-based apparatus.
I am checking that now as that appears to be the source of my
problems. Apologies for the red-herring - and thanks for responding.
