Hi there,

Is anyone out there may help and give me any idea about the problem as addressed folowing ?

We have installed and initialized Oracle 7.2.3 on SQI/IRIX 5.3 and databases was created thru CDROM installation process.

Later on, I've add users on it (as shown in the following). However, the system will not let me connect to database via sqlplus, though it can be connected in sqldba environment. Why not sqlplus ?

And erroring me out as :

SQL*Plus: Release 3.2.3.0.0 - Production on Mon Mar 4 13:33:46 1996

Enter user-name: TEST
Enter password:
ERROR: ORA-07268: szguns: getpwuid error.

Why ? Am I missed something ? As a Sybase DBA and 5 years experience with Oracle version 6, I belived I've done it right already. But ...

Will someone help me out ? Thanks in advance for your help.

sincerely,

Thomas
