Dave,

        Isn't it just because of the link?

dgpd1a:/tmp>touch JRE
dgpd1a:/tmp>ln -s JRE JRa
dgpd1a:/tmp>lr

Subject: Prot on jre file

Folks,  

Anyone know what the necessary protection should be on the following Java file under unix?  

% ls -l /u01/app/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/jre

-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 2097 Dec 31 1969
/u01/app/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/jre  

As you can see from above, the file has world-write access, which seems rather odd. I compared this to 7 other installs and all had the same prots, which to me means the installation process is setting this. Our security admin wants this changed, yet I'm paranoid that dropping prots will cause problems.  

Anyone know how/why this file is set to 777?
