Connect as sysdba on 9i

Hi!




I have a question concerning "connect sys as sydba" on 9i.




When I open sqlplus and connect as sysdba (I'm logged in as the Unix oracle user):




sqlplus "sys as sysdba"




Oracle asks for a password. Even if I type in the wrong password, I am connected to Oracle. So does Oracle just use the OS authentication (like connect internal did on 8i)?



But why is Oracle asking for a password in the first place then? Any ideas?




This is 9.0.1 on Sun Solaris.




Thanks,


Helmut
