> I'm attempting to use gsec to change the sysdba password. I'm
> following the Quick Start Guide.

gsec -user SYSDBA -pa masterkey -modify SYSDBA -pw <new password>

Where <new password> is the password you would like to apply to the SYSDBA
account.

Note: Only the first 8 digits of the password are relevant, if when
changing the password the length of the new password is greater than 8
characters then you will see the following warning:

'Warning - maximum 8 significant bytes of password used'

This warning can be safely ignored.

As for localhost, what happens if you use 127.0.0.1?
