Hi, We have a Unix user dcclive ( oracle database user ops$dcclive - os authentication ).
I am able to connect my database using TNS Alias but not directly. when i start the database in the following way : After logging in as dcclive ( C Shell ), su -u oracle ( Korn Shell ) and started the database, exit from oracle login , connect from dcclive login using os authentication ( using / in sqlplus ), it connects to the database. But when i logging in as dcclive ( C Shell ), su oracle and started the database, exit from oracle login , connect from dcclive login using os authentication ( using / in sqlplus ), it DOES NOT connects to the database. To connect now, i have to use TNS Alias as seen below. uid=1037(dcclive) gid=101(dba) kitchen% sqlplus / SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Thu Jul 25 12:07:36 2002 (c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation.

Please note that Oracle login has Korn shell. Does the change of shell matters ? or am i missing something ? I have checked all the necessary env. variables. All r set properly. How exactly su -u and su matters to oracle ? Thanks in advance.
