two sys passwords in 9i.

Sys being internal in 9i, you can have two sys passwords. PWOne, the sys password you chose when you create the database and PWtwo, when you alter the sys user and change the password.

Both PWone and PWtwo work as sys passwords on the local machine, whereas ONLY PWone works on remote machines.

Did anyone notice this?

Well..SYS will accept any password if OS level authentication is enabled.
