Are you using password files?
1) Check if some orapwSID file exists.
if exists, then, internal user will always be required to authenticate
in order to login. (except that
'dba' group is granted at os level.
2) Check $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.s file for some string
like:
/* 0x0008 15 */ .ascii "dba\0"
The 'dba' string indicates that group DBA must be asigned to the user that
will be used to connect as internal.
If other string is used, then, you must use that os group as DBA role, and
you must grant that
group at os level.
Hope it helps
