New XE Install on Linux 5 - ORA-01017 Login Error

985518Jan 17 2013 — edited Jan 30 2013
This is in a Linux VM image on Win 7.
The listener is up and the database appears to be up.
I, "su - oracle" and the the various env var are set.
I have the various groupid's setup and oracle is a member of them.
I also did a, "ssh systemname", to verify the login passwd.
oracle is in the sudo file.
I have uninstalled and installed a few times.
Restarting the Linux image does seem to start Oracle and the TNS listener.
I've tried sqlplus login with oracle, sys, system and as sysdba. I've checked my group id's and it contains: oracle, dba, oinstall, oper.
The files all have 755 and owned by oracle:dba.
I have searched all over the web and I have not been able to find anything that helps.
Any help would be great!

if I,
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/passwd@xe

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

----
sqlplus / as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
