I assume you are trying to access the system with sqlplus user/password_at_hpdb

Try

TWO_TASK=hpdb sqlplus user/passwd

This will also probably fail, but this time with a "packet writer" failure. If this is teh case, then you have found the same problem I have when talking from RH5.2 system to a Solaris 7.1.6.2.0 server.

I do not know a work around.

sqlplus seems to be the only program affected - svrmgrl works, perl DBD works, Pro*C works.... it's only sqlplus that's broken!
