OS authentication related problem

523455Dec 27 2006 — edited Dec 28 2006

Hi Friends

I am connecting to my database server (Oracle 10g R2) using oracle (UNIX) id. This user belongs to DBA group on UNIX and is the database administrator. We also have a System Administrator user thru which the database has been started.

My problem is that when I log with oracle (database admin) user id and try to connect to database thru SQLPLUS, i get the following message:
SQL> connected to an idle instance.

My ORACLE_SID is set properly .... So what can be the problem ... Any help shall be greatly appreciated ... Thanks ....
