I am attempting to enable OS Authentication for a few selected users and am having difficulties.

I am running Oracle 7.3.4 on AIX 4.1.5.

I've set the OS Auth prefix variable (I forget the exact var name at the moment but I pulled it out of the docs - even used cut and paste so I know it's not spelled wrong) in the init.ora for that instance. I took the standard "OPS$". I restarted the instance and added user "OPS$user" identified by external. Then, logged into the AIX as user "user", I tried to log into SQL*Plus (locally via telnet, not from client) like this... "sqlplus /" It denied access as invalid username and password.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!
