  I have installed 10g oracle_home in my linux machine

After creating oracle_home , i did run root.sh . Then tnsnames.ora , listener.ora and sqlnet.ora has been created .In sqlnet.ora parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES is set to (NTS) . I did set TWO_TASK=<SID>
and then i tried the following command

sqlplus '/as sysdba'

its throwing the error
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

then i tried as
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL> connect / as sysdba

Hi,
Please go through this link and restart your database as per that.

http://www.dbapool.com/articles/02080701.html

nolog is used when there is no space left in disk to write the audit trail file. It wont help you and the error you are getting is regarding privileges. While installing the database, you might have given password for sys. Please recall and try with that. Still if you are get insufficient privileges, I suspect the pre-requisite check. I mean creating an user in linux other than root user and assigning it full permissions on oracle. You have to start the database by logging in that OS user only. If you havent performed these steps, please read the installation doc. This is the good practice before installation.

Thank You,
Aneel Kanuri
