 Hello

I'm sure this is something small, but I can't see what it is. I have a 10.2.0.3 database. When I enter sqlplus / as sysdba, I dont get to a prompt until I hit enter 2 times like so:

rwxd51l7:ora10:/opt/oracle/common/createdb$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Wed Aug 11 14:13:27 2010

It looks like oracle is waiting for me to enter some value, but I don't know why it is happening. Does anyone have a suggestion what could cause it?

Howdy, Stranger!
