I am having problems setting up the password file for SYSOP and SYSDBA. I created the password file using orapwd file=ora_mfms_unt_pwfile.ora password=secret entries=5 and I also set the parameter in the init.ora file to remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive

I shutdown the database and tried to restart it, but I am now getting

SQLDBA> startup open MFMS_UNT
ORACLE instance started.
ORA-01990: error opening password file 'ORA_PWFILE' Attempting to shutdown instance........ORACLE instance shut down. SQLDBA> I am running Oracle 7.1.3 on VMS 5.5-2 for the Vax. Do I need to set logicals for ORA_PWFILE?

I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance,
