For example if I logon to AIX box as user john and as john I execute sqlplus username/password (not using TNS) when I do ps -fu john | grep LOCAL I actually see john as the process owner. I have never observed this behaviour in other UNIX flavours (or I havent observed carefully but for sure Linux behaves other way), I have seen this behaviour in Oracle 9iR2, 10gR2, 11gR2 running in AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1. Is this expected? I have observed this behaviour after investigating some ORA-04030 errors when some PL/SQL packages are run as non-oracle users in AIX.
