Alex,
check the permissions on the sockets opened by oracle. They are under /tmp/.oracle for 7.3. If the permissions are not rwxrwxrwx, change them with chmod 777 *. We had this issue when we upgraded from Unix 3.2 to 4.0b.

Another guess: If you are on DEC 4.0b, you may have a similar problem to another one we had. We were receiving a error (TNS 12571:packet write failure), trying to run sqlplus as a user not in the DBA group. DEC 4.0b has a bug (apparently related to the DLM feature). It does not set the suid (sticky bit) properly. You have to apply a DEC patch, but I do not have the number handy... I can find it out in case you need it.

Hope it may help,
