i was able to install Oracle 8i on a freebsd machine.  at least i think
it installed correctly.

but when i tried to use sqlplus to try to connect using scott/tiger i
get an error saying ORACLE is not available.

how do i make it available?  or what id can i use?  i run it as oracle
user, the same user that i installed oracle with.
