Does adding or removing a / at the end of $ORACLE_HOME help?

Subject: can't connect '/ as sysdba'

I'm still googling for answers but it's looking like I won't be finding one, so 
time to ask here.

I am working as a consultant with a 9.2.0.8 installation.  I was present when 
it was installed and didn't see anything out of the ordinary happen.  It seems 
to function normally with one exception - no matter what I do, I get an 
ORA-01031 "Insufficient privileges"  
error when I try to connect with '/ as sysdba', which prevents dbstart and 
dbshut from working.  I have worked with other 9i installations and have never 
had this problem before.

Most of the suggestions boil down to making sure that group assignments are 
correct and that TWO_TASK is not set, and I've followed up on both of those.  
The group that owns all of the files in $ORACLE_HOME is the same one that's set 
in config.c and is the oracle user's primary group.  I am only expecting this 
to work as the oracle user.

What else could be wrong?

thanks,

janine
