Re: Insufficient Privileges (svrmgrl)

Roar,

  You might want to check the owner of your oracle executables, directories, etc. I've seen this in the past where someone with root privs has done a "chown -R" in the system, it followed a link to the Oracle directories and all of a sudden Oracle is owned by root. Check it out - hope it helps!
