Don't know much about tracesvr, but dbsnmp is the account used by the Oracle Intelligent Agent (what's in a name). You can and SHOULD change the password because it has quite a few default privileges. If you are using the agent, you need to update its snmp_rw.ora file to indicate the new password. (As an extra, you should also change dbsnmp's temp tablespace to something other than system). mvg/regards Jo "Schauss, Peter" <peter.schauss@xxxxxxx> Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 04/06/2004 22:54 Please respond to oracle-l To: "Oracle-L (E-mail)" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: Accounts for dbsnmp and tracesvr What is the purpose of these two schemas and will I have problems if I change the default passwords for them? I checked the manuals and cannot find documentation on these.
