Re: Oracle8i won't startup if reboot

The "insufficient privileges" has nothing to do with the OS-account you're using. You
have to "connect internal" with correct password in server manager to startup the database.
If you want automatic startup when booting, configure the /etc/oratab. It doesn't start
the listenener, you have to do that in some other way, ie, /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora.

By the way, dbstart is a scriptfile, check it out and maybe execute the commands manually
to get some hints.
