okay if the prefix string is set to an empty string, then the "OS
username" is the same name as that used to sign in to the client. So
if you have an empty prefix, and someone logs onto their PC as "SYSTEM"
then if they do sqlplus, they should be able to get into the system
account.
Except... system isn't set as "identified externally" they'd have to
enter the password right? Jared??????
but any Oracle account you create as "identified externally" (meaning
the OS does the password validation, Oracle presumes the security is
there) can log onto the database by setting the client login to that
name
