Hi,

   Are file permissions considered when UTL_FILE is called? For example, say a user can't look at files in a directory when logged onto the system where the database is runnning. If this directory is one of the UTL_FILE directories specified in INIT.ORA, can the user call UTL_FILE through SQL*Plus to look at data in the directory?
What if the user doesn't even have an account on the system?

    Thanks,
