It is not asking for password because you are in the OS "dba" group.

The difference between the OS roles are clearly described in the documentation.
Database Administrator's Guide
Chapter 1 Overview of Administering an Oracle Database
Section Database Administrator Authentication
Subsection Administrative Privileges
Paragraph SYSDBA and SYSOPER

Hi,
You can set parameter to NONE instead of NTS in sqlnet.ora file to disable this.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sqlplus / as sysdba

ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges


After resetting to NTS:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sqlplus / as sysdba

>After resetting to NTS:
NTS does not work well on *NIX which OP has.
