External authentication problem on Digital Unix

  I'm having trouble getting external authentication working for Oracle 7.3 on Digital Unix 4.0d.

  I've set os_authent_prefix to "" and added myself as a user with "create user dunnett identified externally", but when I try to run sqlplus from that account it tells me the username/password is invalid.

  I've tried putting the username in quotes so it stays in lowercase (like the OS username), but that didn't help.

  We have C2 security enabled on the system.

  Has anyone got this type of setup working? What's the secret?

  Thanks in advance.
