Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> sun and oracle accounts
In light of the topics about SA I am have a problem
that maybe you all can shed some light on.
I am running Solaris 7 and Oracle 8.1.5. Many months back I created an Oracle account under both the Sun system and Oracle. I also created an id called PROTO with the same permissions. They worked.
Now, after some time, PROTO is hosed. Here is what is happening. When I log on the Sun box directly using ORACLE and then login to oracle using that ID all is good. If I stay on the sun box as Oracle, then switch to PROTO to get to the database, all is good.
If I logout of the Sunbox and come in as PROTO, I get in to the OS, if I try to use PROTO to login to oracle, I get all the standard, TNS names, Oracle not available messages (I try various combinations of login/password and instance, instance.world..... which will change the error messages I am getting.
This tells me that when I come in as PROTO something is wrong, yet using the Oracle ID, and then switching to PROTO is ok. I have tried to check the paths and copied and recopied the shells to ensure that they are the same. I am running C-shell by the way.
Can anyone more knowledgable in Solaris point me where else
to look? I've even created a new id, copying the .cshrc
and .login files to the new id, from the ORACLE working
one,
and still get the same problems.
Thanks a lot.
