Title: Connect as sysdba on 9i

Hi!

I have a question concerning "connect sys as sydba" on 9i.

When I open sqlplus and connect as sysdba (I'm logged in as the Unix oracle user):

sqlplus "sys as sysdba"

Oracle asks for a password. Even if I type in the wrong password, I am connected to Oracle. So does Oracle just use the OS authentication (like connect internal did on 8i)?

But why is Oracle asking for a password in the first place then? Any ideas?

This is 9.0.1 on Sun Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
