I believe that your diagnosis that the issue is related to filesystem permissions is correct.

I believe that your opinion on the permissions being "very strict" is wrong.
The default permissions are proper, and one has to make a few changes for non-default functionaliy of the server.

If you properly configure the filesystem permissions using local groups for ownership, (ORA_INSTALL for software, ORA_DBA for database and service ownership) you'll achieve the desired functionality while not using FULL CONTROL EVERYONE. What a giant step backwards you are proposing.

You lost all credibility with me as soon as you suggested that.
