From your question, I assume you are working in unix. The $ is special in unix. It marks the beginning of a variable. Quote it with a single back-slash:

sqlplus OPS\$USER/passwd

On the other hand, this should work :

sqlplus /

Yes, just slash.

Sorry for the beginer question, but I'm having a dickens of a time trying to
login to sqlplus from the command line.  When I try:

sqlplus OPS$USER/passwd

or

sqlplus OPS$USER/passwd@SID

I get the follwing error:

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

However, when I just type sqlplus, and enter the user and password when
prompted, everything works just fine.  Is there something I'm neglecting to
do? I can connect fine as system/manager with sqlplus system/manager.

If there are any ideas, please let men know.
