ENTRIES
This parameter specifies the number of entries that you require the password file to accept. This number corresponds to the number of distinct users allowed to connect to the database as SYSDBA or SYSOPER. The actual number of allowable entries can be higher than the number of users, because the ORAPWD utility continues to assign password entries until an operating system block is filled. For example, if your operating system block size is 512 bytes, it holds four password entries. The number of password entries allocated is always a multiple of four.

Entries can be reused as users are added to and removed from the password file. If you intend to specify REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE, and to allow the granting of SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges to users, this parameter is required.

Caution:

When you exceed the allocated number of password entries, you must create a new password file. To avoid this necessity, allocate a number of entries that is larger than you think you will ever need.

AFAIK, there is only V$PWFILE_USERS which give us information about SYSDBA,SYSOPER user added in password file .

Dear Taj,
With all respect to your answer....
What I understand is if you have not created a password file , their is no command by which you can find the total number in the entries option while creating the password file....
Thanks & Regards ( And Enjoy your vacation, Take Care, but spare few minutes for us ... )
