Here's one approach ...

http://www.orablogs.com/sergio/archives/oracle_database_10g/index.html

Change Groups and Permissions for Directories

Change the groups and permissions for the directories you just created by executing these commands:

# chown -R oracle:oinstall /Volumes/u01/app/oracle # chown -R oracle:oinstall /Volumes/u02/oradata

then:

# chmod -R 775 /Volumes/u01/app/oracle
# chmod -R 775 /Volumes/u02/oradata

Not exactly what I had in mind, though ... Received on Thu May 31 2007 - 15:41:29 CDT
