- We have taken a different approach to solving this problem.
- We created a front-end routine that looks up the Oracle Id/password
- based upon UNIX id. The primary security issue is keeping the
- front-end procedure hidden. People can use or not use the routine
- as their needs dictate. The primary reason we don't use OPS$
- is that most of our users would need two Oracle accounts:
- <unix login> and OPS$<unix login>.
