Sun Java Desktop System [ SSH hanging]

807557Dec 29 2009 — edited Jan 8 2010
Hello,

I am running latest solaris 10 release (10/09 Generic_141445-09 ) using gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.6.1 (supplied with solaris)

from within gnome terminal, as root, I can start interactive ssh session from this box to anywhere fine.
BUT
from within gnome terminal, as ANY OTHER user, the INTERACTIVE ssh connection from this box to any server HANGS (remote commands run fine)

This issue does not happen from within XTERM window:
from within XTERM terminal window, I can successfully start an interactive ssh session to anywhere (as any user).

so that means problem is either with some environment variable(since it works for root from gnome-terminal) OR with the GNOME terminal app (but it is working for root???)

root user is using /sbin/sh shell. other users use /usr/bin/bash. there is no .bashrc file at the moment,

can anyone help? do i need a patch? or reset some variable?

thx.
-BG
