Why not just run the whole cron job as root - that's what I do. I just 'su - oracle' for my RMAN scripts and run everything else as root.

Still, as regards the oracle failure - have you added 'oracle' as a user for the LSM server via nwadmin, like it says in the manual? That is probably the cause of the error...

Well, all my Oracle8 datawarehoues are on raw disk, although I use AIX. RMAN works just fine with Legato and raw devices, and is very fast. Regular 'save' commands on filesystem files run 4MB/s, Legato + RMAN + raw disk runs at 8.5MB/s to a DLT drive.
