Thanks to the replies so far. It seems that hint at the right direction. I have put together a bit more info this time:

The Oracle software is installed and owned by user oracle8i whose primary group was oinstall. I edited /etc/passwd to make dba the primary group for oracle8i.

The following screen output shows that the Oracle software is owned by oinstall because that was the primary group of oracle8i when the user was created. Shoud the group user be dba? I copied the who directory tree starting from /usr/local/oracle and make the new tree owned by oracle8i/dba, adjusted the env variables but that did not help neither.

Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist SVRMGR> host echo $ORACLE_SID

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist SVRMGR>

The svrmgrl binary is not crap as I unduly suspected because after I had set up tnsnames.ora to connect to an instance on the NT box, I could indeed log in as sys user to the NT instance!

But the damned "connect internal" problem is still unsolved! Please help! Received on Fri Jun 02 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
