I'll let others answer the rest of this but here's my tuppence on the above.
- the dba group is only allowed sysdba rights if remote_login_password_file
is not set to exclusive (IIRC). If it is set to exclusive you'd need to
supply a password file. and
- You only allow DBA's into the DBA os group surely. If your DBAs are a
security risk you have real problems.
