We have an Oracle Forms application which sometimes executes external programs. And these external programs, which run in processes spawned in response to Form triggers, often need to create and/or write to files. My question is, is there any reason those files would need world-write permissions, rather than merely group-write, where the user initiating the Forms application is in the group owning the file or directory involved? Or to put it another way, do these external applications run under a "funny" userid, rather than that of the person who initiated the Forms application? This is Oracle 6, and the Forms app runs under Solaris 2.7. -- David Received on Thu Oct 10 2002 - 03:19:04 CEST
