We have a problem connecting to a database that we have not seen before,
and I am wondering if any else has encountered it.

OS: Windows2003 32-bit
Database Version: 9.2.0.8
Only one Oracle Home on the box

There are six databases running on this server.  We can connect to five
of them just fine.  

When setting ORACLE_SID to the problem SID, and trying
"Connect sys as sysdba"  we get
"ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied"

When we do "Connect sys@sidname as sysdba" it connects fine.

Why would one database have a problem when the others all work?
