Hello,

well, you may make root a member of dba group; but I am not sure about unwanted side effects; and I would try this as a last resort only.
Or maybe anybody out there who already did it?

Let me suggest to ask in a Solaris forum (there is one here at Tek-Tips) how to reset a user's password as root. Include the essential pieces of the information you gave here:
* error message (permission denied)
* output of ls command like in your post from 9 Jan 07 5:46
* /etc/nsswitch.conf, the line with 'passwd' should be sufficient

And by the way, make sure that oracle actually is a member of dba group first!

hope this helps

Hi,
In most *nix Oracle installs, there
is an executable script that must be run as root which sets up the needed permissions for the 'oracle' user...
Look in the Oracle structure of directories to find this and read then re-run it..
