There does not seem to be any problem at all. I hope you do get a dba prompt after this. Then all you have to do is type the following: connect system/manager_at_t:IPADDR:SID
and you should be connected. If you want to prevent these messages from showing up the put LOCAL=T:IPADDR:SID into your config.ora file.
