FYI,
when you connect as internal, you are actually connecting as SYS with some =
additional privileges. Thus, when you modify the SYS password, you are =
also modifying the Internal (SYS) password.

Ron,
I've seen identical behavior on NT only. HP-UX and Linux work as per =
the
docs. Blame MicroSlop.

Group,
OS Novell , Oracle 7.3.4.0.1
When I loaded the oracle on my server I used the ORAPWD command to set =
the
INTERNAL password. The Oracle database was created and the users SYS and =
SYSTEM
were automatically created with the default passwords. Using the SVRMGR =
and
connect internal/password worked as designed with the created password. =
Using
sys/default_password worked as designed when connecting to the database as =
SYS.
I changed the SYS password and the INTERNAL password also changed.=20
My question is: how can internal and sys have different passwords in the
beginning and then changing sys password also change the internal =
password? It
seems that it is a security problem if both passwords are changed to be =
the same
for internal and sys when you set them up as different passwords in the
beginning. =20
Reading the manual on the password utility states that the <password>
parameter "is the initial password for INTERNAL, which is the equivalent =
to the
password for user SYS". But it really isn't unless users SYS can have 2
passwords. <change_on_install> and the INTERNAL password.
I don't need to start a long discussion. I just wanted to point out that I =
had a
point clarified to me today about 2 different passwords becoming 1.
