Hi !

I'm using WinNT 4, and I connect to as the administrator of the machine. As I have installed Oracle 8.1.6, the dba group ( ORAxxx ) has been created... everything ok up to here.

The problem is : I've got the parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORD= EXCLUSIVE , and if it's set to EXCLUSIVE i should only be able to connect giving a password ( the one that's in the password file pwdinit.ora ) but the fact is I can connect with a simple connect internal. !!! How come ?

Please explain.... The feeling I get is that if the O.S user is part of the magic group ( ORADBA, ot whatever ) it is able to connect with no password
! ( even when the init.ora parameter REMOTE_LOGIN.... is set to
EXCLUSIVE ) and what the documentation says is that if this parameter is other than NONE , you'll have to supply a password. This is NOT what happens
! The parameter is EXCLUSIVE and I connect just with : connect internal !
Just because the O.S user is part of the group oradba.

Comments please
