Hi Stephen,

           I had done this a few months ago on Linux. I believe on
           Solaris, the file is config.c in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
           ( It's config.s on HP-UX platforms if my memory serves me
            right ).
           Here are the steps to be followed :
           1) Make sure that dba group is added to /etc/group and
              oracle's primary group is dba.
           1) Edit the config.c file and change the following entries :

                  # define SS_DBA_GRP "dba"  ( change oinstall to dba )
                  # define SS_OPER_GRP "dba" (change oinstall to dba )

           2) Now go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and type the following at the
              shell prompt :
                            relink all ( relink all the products )

           3) I don't think this step should be necessary since relink
              should take care of everything, still I recommend this to
              be on the safe side :
              Go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib and type the following :
                       make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

           4) Now change the ownership of all the Oracle binaries from
              oinstall to dba.
              cd $ORACLE_HOME
              chgrp -R dba

  I am sure this should help you achieve what you need.

  Note : The above will change both the osoper and osdba group to dba.

Regards,
Anil Sikri
