invalid username/password when connecting through listener

 Good morning - hoping someone can help me find the answer to this strange problem. 
I'm running oracle 11g R2 on Linux RH in the Amazon cloud. 

When I connect to my database as sys/password as sysdba - I get into the database.  As soon as I try to connect through the listener - I get an error invalid username/password. 
$ sqlplus sys/<password>@tracs as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Thu Nov 21 09:35:04 2013

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Currently I have remote_login_passwordfile set to NONE. 

When I run status on the listener I see that it is running and there is a service for the instance. 

Howdy, Stranger!
