Hello,

When I try to connect to a database using sqlplus I've got the error
ORA-27121.
This happens when I use a user different then oracle (even root has the
problem)
Has anyone already seen this ? What can I do ?
I tried to shutdown and restart the database but nothing changed.
I'm using Oracle 9.0.1 on Tru64

Thanks for your help

David

FYI
I solved my problem by setting a sticky bit to oracle and oracleO
executables

Good. That's it indead.
Forget about oracleO. When Oracle relinks the old executable is renamed with
suffix O. You will find many *O files in $ORACLE_HOME/bin dir.

How do you set the sticky bit to the Oracle executable?

I suppose you, and the previous poster, mean the setuid, not the "sticky
bit", which is quite something else.

To set the setuid bit:

$ chmod 6751 oracle

Peter
