Subject: sun and oracle accounts

In light of the topics about SA I am have a problem
that maybe you all can shed some light on.

I am running Solaris 7 and Oracle 8.1.5.  Many months
back I created an Oracle account under both the Sun 
system and Oracle. I also created an id called PROTO 
with the same permissions. They worked.

Now, after some time, PROTO is hosed.  Here is what is 
happening.  When I log on the Sun box directly using
ORACLE and then login to oracle using that ID all is good.
If I stay on the sun box as Oracle, then switch to PROTO
to get to the database, all is good.

If I logout of the Sunbox and come in as PROTO, I get in
to the OS, if I try to use PROTO to login to oracle, 
I get all the standard, TNS names, Oracle not available
messages (I try various combinations of login/password and
instance, instance.world..... which will change the 
error messages I am getting.  

This tells me that when I come in as PROTO something is
wrong, yet using the Oracle ID, and then switching to 
PROTO is ok.  I have tried to check the paths and copied 
and recopied the shells to ensure that they are the same.
I am running C-shell by the way.

Can anyone more knowledgable in Solaris point me where else

to look?  I've even created a new id, copying the .cshrc
and .login files to the new id, from the ORACLE working
one,
and still get the same problems.

Thanks a lot.
