What system privs do I need to do my DBA thing on an SGI Irix box?

Hi folks. Thanks for reading this.

I'm new to UNIX and have been fiven the taks of being the DBA for this program. We are using Oracle 8.0.5 Enterprise Edition, and the Oracle Web Application Server on the UNIX box. Everything else I will do from ny NT 4.0 box.

Ok. The question is, what UNIX system privs do I need to do my DBA stuff like start and stop instances, create databases, and add and remove users?

Reason for asking is, here at Boeing, we have a group of System Admins who do NOT like giving out system privs, they want to do anything that requires system privs.

I know you have to have certain system privs to do these tasks on NT, and I assume you need similar privs on a UNIX box.

So, can someone please tell me what privs I need to do my job so I can justify it to the sys admins?

Thanks for the reply,

Richard Hollingsworth
