SAM

Hello all..first thanks for all the previous help...ya'll are life savers....now my question: I have a userid 'oracle' that I
am trying to change the password in SAM...
please note this is on a 10.20 untrusted system. When I attempt to change password and
hit OK to get out of the user's profile, I get an error that the user is logged on, therefore SAM cannot make the change...however, 'oracle' IS NOT logged on...neither as a login, ftp or as an someone that has su to the userid

The only reference to 'oracle' is the processes it is running....

has anyone seen or had this happen. My dba is willing to come and take down the data bases over the weekend if necessary to clear all references to the userid...any help would be greatly appreciated

Jay:

Don't bother with SAM. Login as Oracle and do:

# passwd

or, as root, do:

# passwd oracle

see 'man passwd' for more information.

Are you sure you did not login as oracle then su to root?

I have done this before.
