Re: I need root to be able to connect internal.

The reason is the "connect internal" is allowed without a password if the connection is secure and the user is validated by the operating system. Because the SQL*Net V1 pipe driver exec's the Oracle server, the client's user name can be obtained securely from the operating system. For this reason, the protocol is deemed to be secure.
