In article <1994Oct4.165815.5728_at_zh014.ubs.ubs.ch>, Alain.Viret_at_ls.ubs.ubs.ch (Alain VIRET) says:

Apparently, the method used prior to 7.0.16.x was a bug. According to Oracle (over a year ago, before 7.0.16 was even around) you should only be able to do it one way: Either always use a password or never use a password.
See your 7.0.16 readme file for full info:
