One also needs to have a password file.  Not required, unless you want to be 
able to.

To my knowledge, for a user account to be able to 'connect as sysdba',
it needs to be granted 'SYSDBA' privilege (use 'GRANT SYSDBA to USER'
command). To check which user account is currently having SYSDBA
privilege, query table v$PWFILE_USERS .

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?
