Installing Oracle 8i (8.1.6) I have encountered the following problems and would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on these -

Oracle 8i(8.1.6) on Solaris 7 11/99 Sparc with required patches.

When I try to stop the databse with 'dbshut', I get

SVRMGR> Password:
Password:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SVRMGR> ORA-01012: not logged on

b) When I try to start a sql session after the database has been started with 'dbstart', I get the following:

netz% sqlplus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
netz%

c) When I try to su to 'oracle' user, I get the following. I am sourcing /usr/local/bin/coraenv in my .cshrc file. I followed the installation instructions downloaded from oracle.com

when I su to oracle

netz# su - oracle
dbhome: Command not found
ORACLE_HOME = [] ?
netz%

Any help is appreciated. TIA
