ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact Linux with different unix userids

838252Feb 9 2011 — edited Feb 23 2011

Hi all,

I have installed Oracle under the linux username oracle. I can connect to the database as system user sqlplus. When I log on to a different username, I get the TNS: lost contact error.

I made sure that the new username is in the dba group and the entire /home/oracle directory structure allows access to the dba group.

What else do I need to do to allow other linux usernames besides oracle to connect to the database?

Thanks,
