has anyone had troubles with loggin as SYS with sql*plus 8.1.7.0 and not getting DBA rights?

NT4S, Oracle 8.1.7.0

as the title says, if in sql*plus I use:

prompt> connect sys/<password>@<dbalias> as SYSDBA<CR> prompt>

I get DBA access rights.

if I use:

prompt> connect sys@<dbalias> as SYSDBA<CR> Enter Password: <password>
prompt>

then I don't get DBA rights.

Any ideas wot's ticking or am I missing something obvious?

TIA Cheers
