Re: shared memeory in Oracle7 beta

In a previous article, I write:

Many people have sent me mail, telling people to make sure the permission on the oracle executable was 4755. After fixing this and changing the umask when I run SQL*DBA, the best I can get is -rw-rw---- on shared memory with oracle as the owner and dba as the group. Are there any other Oracle executables that must be setuid? Any other suggestions?
