The result is the same, with ORACLE or SYSTEM.
Other accounts login with a custom menu that manages the db (it should
be a rdbms), but they fails.

I'm tempted, since the system is a bit messy. There are two shadow set each 
with a missing disk
(DKA100, DKA200) (DKA300,DKA400),
DKA200 and DKA300 are missing,
They are mounted at startup with the /shadow option,
mount dsa0: /shadow=($1$dka100:,$1$dka200:) /system  V47701_sys
 and DKA100 is the system disk. According to a friend of mine this is not a
good practice ...

No, I never wrote on OTN. I have just posted a hopeless message,
since my version is really old :(

Thanks !
