More suggestions:
Do this:
CREATE USER ops$root IDENTIFIED BY <password>;
As root: sqlplus / (or connect /)- it should work.
Log out as ops$root, log into SQL*Plus as system (UNIX user root):
ALTER USER ops$root IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
connect /
and see what happens.
You could also add the line OS_AUTHENTICATION_PREFIX="" (two double
quotes) to your init.ora file and try everything all over again (with
ORACLE user root this time around).
I apologize for flooding you with all these suggestions, but
currently I don't have access to an ORACLE database to try them
out before posting them.
I hope this helps
