Very
simple. $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp is s..wed up. It's owned by oracle while it
should be owned
by
root. Do this:
chown root:dba $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp
chmod 6750 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp
It wil
work afterwards. Here is the source:

Patchset Install 9.2.0.3 on Unix does
not set permissions of dbsnmp correctly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This problem affects any Oracle database that the 9.2.0.3 patchset has been
applied to.
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unix
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Oracle Intelligent Agent support of the Enterprise Manager job system's
capability of running jobs as different OS users requires its binary to be
created with specific OS permissions.
During the install process, these permissions are usually set up while
running the root.sh script as the root user. The released 9.2.0.3 patchset install
is missing the instructions to set this up correctly. Instead the 9.2.0.3 patchset
sets $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbsnmp with permissions 755, owned by <oracle owner>/<dba group>.
It should be owned by root and have 6750 permissions.
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every installation of 9.2.0.3 on a Unix platform.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Symptoms may vary depending upon theapplication which uses the agent.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
To allow the agent to run jobs, you will need to run the following commands
manually as root :
chown root <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbsnmp
chmod 6750 <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbsnmp

I have installed oracle 9.2.0.3 on Redhat 8.0.
Then I used the emca to create the oem database and repository.I started oms (oemctl start oms user/pass)
I can connect to the console from the Linux box but when I try to launch the console from my 2000 laptop. (version 9.2.0)
I get the following. java.lang.NullPointerException
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
