7.3.4 svrmgrl requiring password if called by root user

My database backup scripts are failing when run by the root user. I have just had the requirment to add a dump of all filesystems to my regular database backup routine. Upon running my modified scripts as the root user, required for the dump, I am greeted by a request for a password in response to the connect internal command. I can duplicate this by simply running svrmgrl from a prompt as the root user. Again this is for Oracle 7.3.4 on DG/UX.

We are not using OS authentication, and I svrmgrl does NOT require a password for the other OS users I have tried to use. I added the root user to the dba and oper groups in hopes that might solve my problem, but was still prompted for a password.

Any help with this is appreciated.

Thanks, Steve McClure
