Hi,

You have to add parameter to your init.ora file: os_authent_prefix, and remote_os_authent...

On unix platform you are ALWAYS using sql*net. For local connection it works over beq/ipc protocol on sql*net v2 (pipes). For sql*net v1 define TWO_TASK as 'p:'

This feature (the OPS$ accounts) is not supported on all platforms. Check your IUG.
