This is the error:



ORA-01031 ORA-01031insufficient privileges

Cause:An attempt was made to change the current username or password without the appropriate privilege. This error also occurs if attempting to UPDATE a table with only SELECT privileges, if attempting to CONNECT INTERNAL, or attempting to install a database without the necessary operating system privileges.

When Trusted ORACLE is configured in DBMS MAC, this error may occur if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label than the current login.

Action:Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant the required privileges.

For Trusted ORACLE users getting this error although granted the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database administrator to re-grant the privilege at the appropriate label.


hth,

( btw, http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76999/toc.htm is a very comprehensive site for 8.1 errors - the base site( http://technet.oracle.com) may be a site you should keep as a shortcut..registration is needed but it is free and will prove to be a very valuable reference point for most things Oracle..)
