And more in that vein: orapwd generated properly for each db, and with proper ownership/protection? You aren't trying to be a root dba?  init.ora variables the same (except where necessary)? Can you connect as a regular user in sqlplus and then connect as sysdba? You've checked for duplicate entries in tnsnames.ora? Try changing the sys password?
