I just tried that on our Linux server that's running Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5 and it appears to be true.
[oracle_at_dbalab2 ~]$ uname -a
Linux dbalab2 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Sun Oct 15 14:02:40 PDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[oracle_at_dbalab2 ~]$ ls -al sqlnet.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 0 May 6 10:45 sqlnet.log
[oracle_at_dbalab2 ~]$ chown rgoulet sqlnet.log

On HPUX non-root users can chown on files. It appears on RedHat 5 this is not allowed. The sysadmins are saying that there is no way to grant users this ability with Linux. Is that true?
