Re: Permission denied!?

Jack,
here are some items to check:

1. Did you run root.sh after the installation? (Shouldn't cause every executable to give a permission error but make sure you run it)
2. Was your umask set to 22 during the install? If so, it would be easier to wipe to current installation and reinstall with the correct umask. You could "relink all" to clear up the executable permissions, but the dirs and subdirs will take a manual overhaul to get right.
3. Does the file system where oracle resides have any restriction flags (ie, nosuid)? A "mount" command will show you the mounted filesystems and there mount flags.
4. Are you logging DIRECTLY into the oracle account when you use the software or su-ing over from another account (su - oracle)? I know people do not believe this can cause permission problems but try this sometime when you've su'ed from root to another account:

# whoami
will return oracle and dba group (as expected)

Now do a -

# who am i
It will return the base account of the shell/subshells (ex:, root). I have seen this cause some really wierd permission issues when installing/using oracle.

I could give you more to look at but I would start with these.

Let me know if you can't get it to work.

Later.
Gene....
