Still, you cannot connect like "user/pass@db as sysdba" without a password file.

Please read the post completely.

i mentioned

"Where are you connecting from, if at server side,
conn / as sysdba is enough."

-- i dont use connect string..
-- for this case i dont think PWD file is of any importance if authentication is NTS.

Abhay.

abhaysk,
I am sorry if you got the feeling I don't read your posts completely.
But you said

If you are trying to connect to DB as SYSDBA from the server where DB exist, then Password File is of no use.

This is simply not true. It depends on what one needs. Not everybody uses OS authentication... always.
If you would say: "...using password file is not the only option..." I would happily agree with you.
This is what I was aiming at.

And for NTS authentication. That's only on Wintel platform.

But... even though it doesn't look this way, what interest us most is what happened with hamhey's problem?
