谈谈Oracle 10g 密码文件

Oracle 10g实例搜索密码文件时默认是搜索$ORACLE_HOME/dbs目录下面的orapw$ORACLE_SID文件，当orapw$ORACLE_SID文件不存在时，则搜索orapw文件，该密码文件主要存放了sysdba，sysoper权限的用户的密码，并以密文的形式保存在密码文件中。
如
[oracle@dbsvr dbs]$ strings orapwzhoul
]\[Z
ORACLE Remote Password file
INTERNAL
AB27B53EDC5FEF41
8A8F025737A9097A
ZHOUL
2026035BE31C0322
但奇怪的是，当我对zhoul用户收回sysdba权限时，该用户还是在密码文件中保存，并用strings命令查看内容似乎“没变”
[oracle@dbsvr dbs]$ strings orapwzhoul
]\[Z
ORACLE Remote Password file
INTERNAL
AB27B53EDC5FEF41
8A8F025737A9097A
ZHOUL
2026035BE31C0322

通过研究发现，Oracle存在一张 X$KZSRT,[K]ernel [Z]ecurity layer [S]ecurity for [R]emote logins remote Password File [T]able entries用于存放sysdba，sysoper权限的用户，而进一步研究发现
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;

SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';

Session altered.


SQL> select * from x$kzsrt;

可以看到我们查看x$kzsrt就是直接读取密码文件，而对用户回收sysdba权限并没有在密码文件中删除，而只是修改了状态位而已，status从1改为0。
