We just installed oracle 7.2.2 on one of our RS/6000 (AIX 3.2.5) machines. We also created a database using the installer. Besides the oracle users, sys and system, we found a user NAMES. Obviously, this user, NAMES, is created by the installer, but we do not know what it is for. Our guess is that it is
used by Oracle*Names server, but not quite sure, since we do not use the product. Any one who can shed light on this will be appreciated.
