disable login as sysdba without password

fzdevNov 30 2006 — edited Nov 30 2006

Hi,

we are hosting our environment externally with a hosting company and wanted to know if there was anyway of disabling (from within the database) login "/ as sysdba" without having to provide a password.

The scenario we are trying to avoid is a malicious OS administrator putting themselves into the dba/ora_dba group and then setting the sqlnet.ora parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) and then being able to login to the database without out having to provide a password and being able to view very sensitive data??

any help much appreciated.
