I guess in that case the obvious question is...what's changed? I think
the + sign is an indicator for YP (for you old timers) or NIS nowadays.
Not 100% sure as I haven't done unix admining is quite some time.

The script sets up its own oracle environment. The scripts have been
used already for 6 years and on multiple databases.

How are you trying to run the scripts? Cron? If so, you will need to
source your .whatever (.profile, .cshrc, .kshrc, etc) as part of the
script you are running. Or the script that sets up your Oracle
environment. Here's a link that speaks to this:

Subject: oracle account in /etc/passwd
I am having trouble getting my scripts to login and run against a 10g
database on solaris 8.
I can login from the cmd prompt as sysdba all day long.
this is the only entry in /etc/passwd that refers to oracle:
(oracle) $ more /etc/passwd
+oracle:x:::::
In /etc/group I see no entries for dba and oinstall. Oracle and
oinstall are the software installers and owners.
Again I can login to sql*plus as sysdba with no problem.
What does the +oracle entry mean in /etc/passwd?
Is it authenticating from some other mechanism?
thanks.
