I have got this working now; I am able to connect remotely using "connect sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] as sysdba" and able to do remote imports with sys as the userid.
Thanks to the four J's (Jacques,Jared,Julie,Jeremiah) for their suggestions. The solution seems to be dropping and re-creating the orapwd file. I had changed the sys password after I had created the password file; the docs say the file should pick up this password change without having to re-create it, but re-creating it fixed the problem. Thanks again. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
