Maybe ... Install Oracle in one directory tree; create soft links to it (although soft links, like GUIs, are inherently evil). Then show the auditors that the oracle home for each is "different".

That way you don't have to try to explain that the oracle_home points to the Oracle software which is completely independent of your Oracle databases. Do they insist that the Unix admins install a separate copy of Unix for every user on a box?

We have one Oracle home for all of our non-11i backend instances and one each for each of them (more for the extproc's that Dick was talking about and for ease of testing upgrades than for any other pressing reason.) Auditors are a funny breed... they want total separation even at the expense of practicality.
