WebDB install problems on solaris7

This is a cry for help:

OS: Solaris 7
Oracle 8i

Situation: Only one database (clean, no frills) running. Sqlplus connection (with sys or whatever as login), listeners etc work fine. In other words everything is as it should be with the db.

Then... I run the WebDB install program, specifying that I want to install WebDB into the same ORACLE_BASE but a different ORACLE_HOME from 8i.
Works fine until I get to the bit where the SYS password is needed - there isn't a whole lot of choice here as I only have one db running. Whatever I try to write in fails...

Where does the WebDB installer look for passwd/db information? Any ideas at all what to do, anyone? Anyone else this has happened to?

I've evn tried a manual install but this fails round about the bit where further configurations are supposed to be carried out via a webpage, which never appears even there is SOMETHING on the port where it should be.

Please mail my work address, I will post a summary if applicable!

cheers
Mareike
