Hi,

When I try to do the install via a remote Xterminal the Universal Installer says me just after when I indicate the 'oinstall' group as the group to maintain oracle software that I have a permission problem.  Here are the characteristics of the 'oracle' user:

Here is the permission on the /u01 filesystem:

drwxr-sr-x 2 oracle system 512 Mar 19 14:21 u01

Here are the permission on the devices where the filesystem resides and the rew device for future data:

# ls -l /dev/ora*

crw-rw----   1 oracle   oinstall  41,  0 Mar 14 14:40 /dev/oraapps
crw-rw----   1 oracle   oinstall  42,  0 Mar 15 12:19 /dev/oradata
brw-rw----   1 oracle   oinstall  41,  1 Mar 15 13:14 /dev/oralvapp1
brw-rw----   1 oracle   oinstall  42,  1 Mar 15 12:49 /dev/oralvdb1

# ls -l /dev/rora*
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 41, 1 Mar 15 13:12 /dev/roralvapp1 crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 42, 1 Mar 15 12:49 /dev/roralvdb1 #

What should I change to let the installer finish its job ?

Thanks ahead,
