Re: can't logon as SYSDBA ....

MotoX answer is almost correct.
1 make sure there is a passwordfile on the server (creation is usually done through the orapwd utility, exact syntax changes from platform to platform) 2 make sure the following line is in your init<sid>.ora remote_password_file=exclusive
3 bounce the database and connected as internal on the server grant sysdba or sysoper privileges to the users you wish 4 you can verify this by
select * from v$passwordfile_users
5 I believe the INTERNAL account will disappear with the next release (8i?), it has been marked obsolete by Oracle.
