[Zope] DCOracle help required

[Alwyn Schoeman]

Hi,

Let me explain my situation.
The oracle server is version 7.3.4 running on Solaris.
I compiled DCOracle 1.3.1b1 on the Sun using the Oracle 7 libraries.
With this I can access an Oracle 8.0.5 database running on Linux over the 
network.

Now I want to access the Oracle 7 database from a Linux machine.  Only Oracle 
you can get for Linux is 8, so I'm using 8.1.6.
I can get it to compile and installed.

But when I do the following to the Oracle 7 database I get:
>>> import DCOracle
>>> dbc = DCOracle.Connect("ota/ota@ota1")
OCI_ERROR at oci_8.c:326
ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/DCOracle/ocidb.py", line 77, in __init__
    sc=oci_8.Logon(u,p,s)
OracleError: (1005, 'ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied')

Can anyone please help me to get this to work...

Thank you
