Re: Password/account problem with OPS$

Try the following in your'e init.ora

os_authent_prefix = "OPS$"

or

os_authent_prefix = "ops$"

or if your'e feelling bold and aren't worried about user passwords being fried try this...

os_authent_prefix = ""

in you're init.ora....... then update the user$ table and strip all the OPS$s off the usernames... remember to reset sys, system and other passwords you care about because all the passwords will be fRiEd.

I have done the above on VMS... should work on Unix.. but no warranties express or implied.
