The owner, group and permissions on the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle file should be:

-rwsr-xr-x oracle dba

They are; if they weren't I would get an "ORACLE not available" error. I don't. This is an initial installation of Oracle on Linux. I have 12 years experience installing and administering Oracle on UNIX and I've not seen this problem before. I am seeing it now on Linux and I am not certain why. The environment is set for every user wanting to access the database so that is not an issue. Something else is happening, and I'd like to find out what. If anyone has had any experience with this error on Linux let me know what is happening and how to correct it.

No, and I wouldn't try that, either.
