Message-Id: <10638.118373@fatcity.com> From: "Anil Sikri" Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 08:44:20 CDT Subject: Re: Changing the osdba group 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.
