I just accidentally partially answered this question:

<http://b.radisys.com> nocatalog

I did not enter the password: I hit <CTRL-C><ENTER> at the password
prompt, and was logged in.
This appears to be acting just as if I had used this command:
rman target /@b.radisys.com <http://b.radisys.com> nocatalog
which logs me in as SYSDBA
I can't seem to find any documentation describing this behavior.
Both 'slaxdebug' and 'debug trace <filename>' were used as well.
Both forms of debug start their output following the logon, so they
weren't much help.
