Hi Ken,
I had similar problem once. What I did was I recreated the password file
using orapwd utility for that instance. Irrespective of the password you
specify while using orapwd, it stopped asking for password!! May be this
will work. But be careful with the orapwd utility, not to replace the
pasword file for other instances. Use this only as a final resort. I had
totally new instance without any data so I could experiment with that.

Subject: Svrmgrl "connect internal" asks for
password??
List,
I have an installation of Oracle 8.1.6 on a DBA test server
where svrmgrl
"connect internal" seems to want a password...

I know that the usual reason for this is that the account
running svrmgrl is
not a member of the appropriate unix group (usually "dba" or
as specified at
installation time) but this is not the case here. On this
server I have
Oracle 8.1.6 (Home = /Volumes/app/oracle/product/8.1.6) and
Oracle 8.1.7
(Home = /Volumes/app/oracle/product/8.1.7). My login script
sets up aliases
for each SID listed in /var/opt/oracle/oratab. These
aliases use the oraenv
script with environment variable ORAENV_ASK=NO to set
appropriate values for
ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and PATH etc. Other than that, the
environment is
exactly the same regardless of what SID I switch to (see log
above).
However "connect internal" asks for a password for Oracle
8.1.6 but does not
ask for one for Oracle 8.1.7. I am pretty sure that I
specified that the
group name be "dba" for 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 so that should not
be the issue.
Can anybody give me some pointers of other things to look at
to try and
resolve the problem???
Thanks,
Ken
