Doubt regarding granting OPS$ user ids.......

   Howdy,    

	I have been using ORACLE using only one account (the oracle
	account used for installing) till now.Now when trying to
	assign users using the ops$user_name, I am getting the
	following error (on doing sqlplus from the ops user's account)..
  

  Enter user-name:
  ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available   ORA-07318: smsget: open error when opening sgadef.dbf file.   SunOS Error: 13: Permission denied

  The database has been opened in shared mode and the shared   memory segment has "rw" permissions only for oracle.   Also I've set the env. variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID and other   variables
  appropriately.

  Thanks in advance,
