Hi

[Quoted] The normal permissions that get set on ORACLE_HOME did change as of 9.2 (or maybe 9..0.1), However my understanding was that they changed to

Administrators +SYSTEM - Full Control
Authenticated Users - READ

Note that the EVERYONE group is no longer included. This normally shows up with accounts with restricted rights (the classic being IIS ) not having rights to the oracle executables. Not sure what the actual rights required to be an 'authenticated' user are though.
