re: symantec/veritas backup exec v.11d agent on windows 2003
 attempts to connect to database 10g

(IBM x345 server / Windows 2003 Enterprise Server / Oracle 
Enterprise 10.2.0.3.x Jan08 CPU)

WE ARE DOING COLD BACKUPS, THE VERITAS/SYMANTEC BACKUP EXEC AGENT IN 
USE IS *NOT* THE BACKUP EXEC ORACLE AGENT, IT IS THE GENERIC FILE 
SERVER AGENT, WITH ADVANCED OPEN FILE OPTION (AOFO).

ORACLE IS ALWAYS SHUTDOWN WHEN BACKUPS RUN.

I see sqlnet.log errors in the backup exec agent directory in the 
C:\Programs... directory on a windows 2003 oracle db 10g server.

the windows event logs also show an attempt by "veritas_svc" to 
"connect /".

Question: WTF is a file server backup agent that is (presumably) not 
designed to interface with a database doing trying to "connect /" an 
Oracle's listener ???

Any feedback is appreciated.

TIA!~
Eric

ps, so far OTS has suggested possibility of turning off OS 
authentication (which allows DBA "connect / as sysdba" for specific 
OS administrator accounts - same as old "connect internal") if we 
are worred about "security". My sysadmins hate symantec/veritas 
support, but we might try talking to them next if no one here has 
seen the issue.
