Google was not my friend :-)

Googling oracle sash gets things like
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17645_01/doc.50/e17647/cnf_provisioning.htm

Kyle's offering is called s-ash, but google removes the - unless you quote it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=oracle+%22s-ash%22 Sometimes, maybe, it's hard to know with mysterious context sensitive searches google allegedly has, that of course cannot distinguish between oracle as a product provider and oracle referenced by a non-oracle product. So we just scream in our best Pee-Wee Herman voice "namespace collision!" and go on our merry way.
