Re: default setup passwords 8i

Sam

There aren't any I'm aware of that you shouldn't change. You just need to make sure any scripts etc. are modified to use the new ones. In particular, look at the .ora files for OEM if you change the password for the DBSNMP user.

As for why some passwords are different to usernames, I suspect it's simply because different developers were involved in setting up that code! ;)
