Hi, Thanks to everyone who replied!
I figured it out. I had to apply 6751 permissions to the oracle.exe ... and it worked just fine after that! Thanks sujatha -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2001 3:01 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L First, make root a member of the "dba" unix group. You will then be able to "connect internal" or "/as sysdba". This is a bad idea. Second, at the command line, logged in as root, type: ~oracle/.profile Make sure your ORACLE_SID is set properly and fire away. This is still a bad idea. It would be better for root to "su" to oracle and do anything it needs to do as the oracle user, i.e., su - oracle As root, no password will be required on most *nix flavors.
