rman ORA-01031: insufficient privileges using OS Authentication

DB: 9.2

OS: Solaris 10

We are an eBusiness suite 11.5.10 site so we use OS Authentication to connect to our database as sysdba.  I want to start using rman for backup and recovery.  I have written scripts and tested both backup and recovery and rman is working great.  Let me explain my problem.

# rman target /   -- this works and connects as sysdba

# rman target sys/syspassword    -- this also works

# rman target abcd/efghij   -- this also works, leading me to think that rman is not looking at the username and password as this userid/password combination is invalid

# rman target sys/syspassword@dbsid

Howdy, Stranger!
