getting oracle to run on Solaris 2.x

Hello,

   I asked this question a while back but never had any success, so I am asking again.

Problem:

        I have oracle 7.0 running on a SunOS4.1.3 machine with both SQL*Net v1 / v2 and NIS. What I want is a Solaris 2.4 machine to access the oracle applications (sqlplus, sqlforms..etc) [NOTE: All works fine from 4.1.3 machines]

I altered /etc/nsswitch.conf to include
passwd: compat
group: compat
and alter /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group to include "+:"

When I try the "sqlplus /" command using ops$USERNAME I get:

         with SQL*Net v1
ERROR: ORA-06105: (Cnct err, can't get err txt. See Servr Msgs & Codes Manual)

with SQL*Net v2
ERROR: ORA-07268: szguns: getpwuid error. 07268, 00000, "szguns: getpwuid error."
// *Cause: Getpwuid() could not find an entry in the passwd file for a
// user.
// *Action: Add an entry for the user in the passwd file.

Has anyone out there got it working.
The only workaround I have got so far is to put usernames in local "/etc/passwd" , but this is not the best solution!

At the moment I can't install the Solaris 2 version of ORACLE, since it will cost us a lot of money!

Thanks

Andrew
