The TWO_TASK environment variable is a Unix specific variable used by Oracle to append a database connect string to the end of a username/password combination. When it is not set, it defaults to 'P:' and uses the pipe driver protocol to connect to a local database as specified by the ORACLE_SID environment variable.
If this variable is set to something like 'T:hostname:SID' then the command "sqlplus scott/tiger" is automatically interpreted as "sqlplus scott/tiger_at_T:hostname:SID" and one is connected to the SID database on hostname via SQL*Net TCP/IP.
