Don't forget that we didn't actual change the name of the group - only
its uid(numeric group id). I know that in
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.c, there are references to the "dba"
group, but not to the actual gid(numeric group id). Also, you don't
necessarily have to relink after the installation - it will normally run
immediately. So, presumeably there is something else?? There may be an
issue with the fact that we're running on a trusted system...
