Jerry,
Don't laugh! I did an interview a couple, or has it been longer, of years
ago at a financial institution in my neighborhood (northern Mass). Anyway, the
interviewer who was the head of the DBA group suggested I show him how I would
troubleshoot a problem that they were having. OK, so I give them a couple of
pointers that make things better, no problem I pass those out here all the time.
Anyway, he had me sit down at a terminal & was going to call one of his staff
to create me an account. Well no one was available so I tried system/manager on
their PROD database. Was I ever surprised when it worked, so was the
interviewer especially when sys/change_on_install worked too! Can you say "AW
S&^%"!! To say the least, I do not work for them even though they laid a very
nice offer on the table.

Has anybody ever come across a virus that affects Oracle db's via sqlnet?
Just curious how such a thing would work (have some ideas). There have to be
thousands of vulnerable db's out there (sys/change_on_install, system/manager,
etc.)
(I've been reading Tom Clancy lately... Getting even more paranoid!)

Security is like insurance, people don't want to think about it.
Like people in battle, everyone tells themselves that the person next to them
will be the one to get shot. And they advance over the ridge, facing the sun...
