You appear to have read the doc. about O/S authentication, but have
got it wrong :

remote_login_passwordfile = EXCLUSIVE means

"Use the password file, thus disregard O/S authentication"

Change it to

remote_login_passwordfile = NONE

Which means "Ignore the password file, use O/S authentication".

Your sqlnet.ora setting is right (right, Howard ;-) ? )
