Another thing to consider is that the sticky bit must be set on the oracle executable in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.

If you do an ls -l on $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle you should see something like:

-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle7 dba 8612122 Feb 6 11:11 oracle

If these permissions are not there, you can set them with the following command:

chmod 6751 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle

NOTE: This is not the same as the sticky bit that is set on the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/orasrv executable by the root.sh install script.
