Catching up on old Oracle-L:

The only benefit I can see from it is that it prevents me from doing something like rm -rf /u01/oradata/db01/*.dbf when logged in as myself.

If I were really trying to lockdown the db's, each install of Oracle would have different owner:group. DBA would not have access to any files.

That just leaves root.

and since su - oracle still works...
