I just accidentally partially answered this question:

D:\dba\bin>rman target backup_user/_at_b.radisys.com nocatalog

Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Tue May 26 16:54:32 2009

target database Password:
connected to target database: B (DBID=9999999) using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

RMAN> I did not enter the password: I hit <CTRL-C><ENTER> at the password prompt, and was logged in.

This appears to be acting just as if I had used this command:

    rman target /_at_b.radisys.com nocatalog

which logs me in as SYSDBA

I can't seem to find any documentation describing this behavior.

Both 'slaxdebug' and 'debug trace <filename>' were used as well.

Both forms of debug start their output following the logon, so they weren't much help.
