I have 4 instance created on my machine, and I used ORADIM utility to create them.
when I tried to connect one of my instance, it gave me the following error
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
===========================================================
I have created my ORAPWD file password file and it is there.
I also have set my init files: remote_login_passwordfile = shared.
I have tried none, and exclusive, but nothing works.


please help.....
===========================================================
As I mention I have four instance on my machine, and I have database associated with each other. my questions are:

1. do I need to run all scripts to create datadictionary such as catalog, catproc for each database?

2. do I need to create password file for each database through orapwd utility.

3. Is there any way I can make the password being shared amongs the all the database?

I know theoratically (I might be wrong) if you set the remote_login_passwordfile=share, it can be
shared among the different database; however, I donot know how to do it practically.
