Who is the user of 'our' umask ? Is this the same user as the
oracle account ?
I suppose you are on a UNIX like system. In this case, the oracle
executables
should have the 'set user id' and the 'set group id bit' set, which
means you got
effectively the umask and permissions of the oracle user and his (
dba ) group.
You can see this funny bits ( the 's' in rws--s--x) if you issue
following commands on your shell prompt, eg:
ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/bin | grep rws
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 213490 Nov 19 1999 lsnrctl
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 199964 Nov 19 1999 onrsd
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 20485217 Nov 19 1999 oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 43322 Nov 19 1999 osslogin
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 185987 Nov 19 1999 tnslsnr
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 31675 Nov 19 1999 tnsping
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 109801 Nov 19 1999 trcasst
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 38246 Nov 19 1999 trcroute
So maybe oracles umask should be changed.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
