Re: Oracle 8.1.5i on Linux - can't create a database!

For some reason, after applying the 8i patch, when i connect through internal, it started asking me for password. I think that is why the script is failing. so, if you modify the script it generates, it should be ok.

one thing I do not understand is that why Oracle wants to install the software under oinstall group. It does not make any sense to me. If I have another user in dba group, that user cannot read/write to the Oracle home directory. Any body has any idea why Oracle wants this oinstall group?

Thanks
