Not entirely true - anyone in the dba group can also connect internal on unix (assuming the dba group was the group of the database owner). But you are correct, if the gid of the dba group or the uid of the oracle unix user has changed, this would throw a wrench into authentication as the uid/gid is used, rather than the associated name (oracle/dba).
