Morning,

Thanks. The OP specifically mentioned Red Hat 5.

Thanks.

Thanks again. I shall update the "scripts" manual accordingly. My last
update was for version 2.0 and as far as I can see, the init script
still required the password. I can see from a check just now that
version 2.1 (on Linux) doesn't need the sysdba password in the startup
scripts.

Cheers,
Norman.
