Re: Problem when starting remote rmiregistry service using ssh

Thank you Chris, Esmond and Gregg. I finally solved the problem. It was
caused exactly as Chris mentioned. After I updated the ".bashrc" file (add
the Sun Java 1.5 bin path and set the JAVA_HOME), the problem was gone.
 Before the update, it seemed that the shell used the default GNU Java
as Esmond pointed
out, which caused the exceptions.

Best, Sean
