Hi all,

I am using Oracle 7.3 and 8.0 on NT. With Oracle server set to automatic start, I see that there is a file
strtTEL1.cmd (where TEL1 is the SID) under orant\database\ with content similar to the following:

c:\orant\bin\oradim80.exe -startup -sid TEL1 -usrpwd password -starttype srvc,inst -pfile c:\orant\database\inittel1.ora

The password "password" of Oracle internal is exposed! I wonder what should be done to avoid this while still enjoying autostart.

For manual startup and shutdown, we are using an operator ID granted with SYSOPER privilege.

Many thanks.

Rgds.,
