Very simple. $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp is s..wed up. It's owned by oracle while it should be owned
by root. Do this:
chown root:dba $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp chmod 6750 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp

It wil work afterwards. Here is the source:

Patchset Install 9.2.0.3 on Unix does not set permissions of dbsnmp correctly

Versions Affected

This problem affects any Oracle database that the 9.2.0.3 patchset has been
applied to.

Platforms Affected

Unix

Description

The Oracle Intelligent Agent support of the Enterprise Manager job system's
capability of running jobs as different OS users requires its binary to be created with specific OS permissions.

  During the install process, these permissions are usually set up while   running the root.sh script as the root user. The released 9.2.0.3 patchset install
  is missing the instructions to set this up correctly. Instead the 9.2.0.3 patchset
  sets $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp with permissions 755, owned by <oracle owner>/<dba group>.
  It should be owned by root and have 6750 permissions.

Likelihood of Occurrence

Every installation of 9.2.0.3 on a Unix platform.

Possible Symptoms

Symptoms may vary depending upon theapplication which uses the agent.

Workaround

To allow the agent to run jobs, you will need to run the following commands
manually as root :

     chown root <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbsnmp
     chmod 6750 <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbsnmp

Patches

Not applicable.

I have installed oracle 9.2.0.3 on Redhat 8.0. Then I used the emca to create the oem database and repository.

I started oms (oemctl start oms user/pass)

I can connect to the console from the Linux box but when I try to launch the console from my 2000 laptop. (version 9.2.0)

I get the following. java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
