Re: 8.1.7/solaris8-vanilla installation: couldn't connect as sysdba

The Sun instructions are one very small part of the installation.

Had you not read and followed them the letters R, T, F, and M would have featured prominently in my answer. But as you have indicated a willingness to do so ... you must also read and follow the instructions Oracle provides to be successful. They not only contain the default passwords

SYS CHANGE_ON_INSTALL
SYSTEM MANAGER which you will hopefully change immediately upon connecting with:

ALTER USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY new_password; ALTER USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY new_password;

But also configuration information related to the /etc/system file and other important bits of information that are version specific.
