Hello Eric,

Find the oracle executable (somewhere in /rdbms/bin is a file "oracle") and check if the "Sticky bit" is set.
An ls -l oracle should give something like:

  rws --x --x oracle

I'm not sure as i'm not on Unix now, it could be slightly different. Do a "chmod 4711" if you don't see an "s" in the Usr protection and bounce the database.

If it is not (perhaps someone put a backup back the wrong way) then you get this behaviour. The messg Action: check permissions on segment also points in this direction.

Cheers, Roelof
