RE: Connecting as sysdba

The Oracle software owner will always be able to log in as sysdba. It is a 
trusted account, I don't believe you can change it and it has nothing to do 
with a password file (it is defined when you install the software as to which 
OS group can do this)

Subject: Connecting as sysdba



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?

Regds
Jaffar
