Hello list, I have noticed onething, when I logon to my UNIX as oracle user, I am able to connect to the database as sysdba from any database user. Sqlplus /nolog Connect user_1/password as sysdba; I want to prevent all DB users, except sys, to connect as sysdba. How can I do it? I tried to change the remote_login_passwordfile values but vain. Is this expected behaviour or do I have to change anything in the init.ora file?
