Kathy,

I'm going to assume that what you're trying to do is create UTL_FILE files that
have group r/w permissions. As others have pointed out, you're being thwarted
by the perms of the oracle process.

Here's how I've overridden that in the past.

Assuming your directory is /u01/utl_file/db01/, create a new group called util_file in unix.

Now change the group and perms on the directory:

chgrp util_file /u01/utl_file/db01/
chmod g+rxs /u01/utl_file/db01/

Now all files created in the /u01/utl_file/db01/ file directory will have a group of util_file with read permission.

Just add the util_file group to users that need access.

Read the chmod man page for details.

Jared

        Subject:        slightly OT, permissions unix/oracle puzzler

Ok, I log in as oracle, touch a file I get 664 permission on it.

But when I create a file through OEM or a plsql procedure I get 644 permissions.

My umask is 02.

On another system - solaris everything ok.

Both .profiles are the same.

Sys admins no help.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Kathy
