Ok, now I've created my first Oracle 7.3 database under NT.
- I used oradim73, gave a DBA password there and then oradim told me
that a password file has been created.
- Then I changed REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = exclusive in the parameter
file.
- Granted SYSDBA to SYS.

Shut down the instance.
Startup open.
connect as sysdba.

Now Server Manager prompts for a username. If I enter SYS, I will be prompted for the SYS password. So far, ok. But I do not have to enter any username. Simply pressing ENTER will connect me as sysdba! How come??
