John,

You need to make sure of two things.

1. Make sure you are in the "dba" group by typing "id" on the command line. If you are "root" you have to make sure the effective group is "dba" by using the "newgrp" command.
2. cd to your $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. If there is a "sqlnet.ora" there move it to another name so it does not exist under that name anymore.

Then try to connect internal. There is a bug that the sqlnet.ora file that is shipped with Digital Unix RDBMS 7.3.x has some bogus information in the sqlnet.ora file that will cause the problems you have described. Received on Sat Jan 04 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
