8i: Identified externally and autotrace?

Hello out there,

it seems that autotrace in SQL*Plus does not work for externally identified users.
When I connect with 'sqlplus /' and then issue

set autotrace on

I get

SP2-0619: Fehler bei DB-Anmeldung
SP2-0611: Fehler beim Initialisieren von STATISTICS - Bericht

The system is Oracle 8.1.5.0.1 on Linux.

Any Ideas?

Lothar
