Hi!
(9i, suse linux)
I've got a very strange problem when I try to log on to my database (redhat 8) from a suse linux client:

sqlplus kurs@$ORACLE_SID/kurs
works

but sqlplus kurs/kurs
returns with ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

Any idea what that could be?

Lots of thanks!
Volker
