Problem with creating DB on Linux

Finally, Oracle8i apparently has been installed on my Linux box. I can fire up server manager. However, the problem is after having created a password file and trying to connect to Server Manager to create the database, I encountered the following problem:

---

[oracle8i_at_feb2000 create]$ echo $ORACLE_SID
tst3
[oracle8i_at_feb2000 create]$ svrmgrl

Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist SVRMGR> connect internal
Password:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist SVRMGR> exit
Server Manager complete.
[oracle8i_at_feb2000 create]$

As shown, ORACLE_SID is set up and a corresponding password exists in the default directory. CONNECT INTERNAL is supposed to let me connect without password anyway. But in practice, this is not the case. Do I have to change

remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive

in the INITSID.ORA file to another value? That was the pre-set value from the sample file.

Any hints will be appreciated!
