Can't see any problem. The user dummy is password authenticated, so
you *must* provide a password, and obviously you don't.
If you came in without password in the past, that must have been on
the server itself. On the server itself,if your os user is in the
ORA_DBA group,you can provide *anything* and you will get in. This is
equivalent to 'connect internal'. However connect internal doesn't
exist anymore in 9i, and you must use an username/password combo with
SYSDBA privilege.
