Re: username, passwd

Sounds like an 'External' account (as in create user ops$x identified externally...). If this is true use "/" for the username and nothing (NULL or '') for the password.

Check if sqlplus is a wrapper by using ,at a unix command prompt : $ whence sqlplus
This will give you the path to the sqlplus you are using or the value of a shell alias.
if it is a shell alias, you might see

    sqlplus /
if it is a path and it is not the "real" sqlplus (a wrapper) you will probably will see the same when you open that shell script.

If it is'nt an 'External' account , you *could* ask your dba to change the password to something known
