Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Can't connect from Linux to NT
I am having troubles connecting from a Linux client to an NT server. My setup is as follows:
Server:
WinNT4 SP6
Oracle 8i 8.1.5 enterprise
Linux client:
Red Hat 6.2
glibc 2.1.3-15
Oracle 8i 8.1.6 client
Windows client:
Windows 2000 Pro
Oracle 8i 8.1.6 client
I can TNSPing the server from both clients, and I can connect with sqlplus fine from the Windows client, so long as I am logged into the domain. I cannot connect with sqlplus from the Linux client though. Here is my attempt logged on as me:
matt_at_dem01 bin$ ./sqlplus matt_at_gedb.secsys.comSQL*Plus: Release 8.1.6.0.0 -

And then, logged on as root:

(ORA-12545 = TNS:name lookup failure, ORA-06401 = NETCMN: invalid driver

Does this have something to do with user accounts on the NT server? Any help/suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
