      If REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to NONE, please check oracle (or other DBAs) is a member of the group dba or oper (or other names if you have changed it during installation - check it also from install.log). If REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE, please ensure that SYS or INTERNAL exist in V$PWFILE_USERS.
