RE: 7.3.4 svrmgrl requiring password if called by root user
Thanks everyone who responded to my request. I am still unsure why svrmgrl would prompt for a password, but I was able to solve the problem by extracting my dump2 commands from the PERL script that was doing my regular backup. So now I have root's crontab call a new shell script, that first SUs to a backup user executes my PERL backup script, then finally, calls my newly created dumpall script as root. Allthough I felt my original solution was more elegant, this one actually works. We've all been there right?

RE: 7.3.4 svrmgrl requiring password if called by root user
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.
