RE: trusted oracle

Not only is it not shipped with the regular distribution its a different color cd and requires a different mounting command then the regular distribution. Also, I doubt that it could install successfully without a trusted OS as its looking for some very specific things. Of course I never tried that so... When you installed did it ask anything about what you wanted DBLOW and DBHIGH set at?

Trusted Oracle adds the concept of mandatory and discretionary access control "tags" to each data item. It is generally used by governments who have classified data. Personally, I think it's debatable whether or Trusted Oracle nowadays does anything that you couldn't do with 8i (IMHO).

I would be *very* surprised if you'd installed it by accident, it doesn't ship on the regular media.
