Hi.
After problem-free install, three strange things:
- the root.sh file and root.sh.old are both empty. in ORACLE_HOME/install/utl there is a root.sh which appears to be correct, so shouldn't i copy it up to the ORACLE_HOME dir? why did this happen? is this related to #2
- all files and directories in ORACLE_HOME and below were left as owned by group oinstall, not as group dba. why? i presume that i am supposed to perform the chown and chmod commands discussed under "Security" in the install manual to correct this situation? i did run the root.sh command, but it completed in about 1-2 seconds and did not seem to do much.
it seems generally that most directories should be owned by oinstall group, but most files should be owned by dba group. i have done my own chmod and chown commands to attempt to make the ORACLE_HOME directory tree look as i believe it should.
most urgent:
3. i can now enter sqlplus OK and all seems fine, but
sqlplus HELP facility is not present! even though i can log into scott/tiger or system/manager --either one. i DID run helpins command, and the HELP tables ARE loaded (SELECT * FROM HELP produces output) BUT "HELP <topic>" responds with "SP2-0172: No HELP available."
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
