The Oracle software owner will always be able to log in as sysdba. It is a trusted account, I don't believe you can change it and it has nothing to do with a password file (it is defined when you install the software as to which OS group can do this)

Subject: Connecting as sysdba

Hello list,

I have noticed onething, when I logon to my UNIX as oracle user, I am able to connect to the database as sysdba from any database user.

Sqlplus /nolog
Connect user_1/password as sysdba;

I want to prevent all DB users, except sys, to connect as sysdba. How can I do it? I tried to change the remote_login_passwordfile values but vain.

Is this expected behaviour or do I have to change anything in the init.ora file?

Regds
Jaffar
