Permissions question

New server.  RH 5.  10gR2.

Oracle account was set up a default group of oracle (not dba, though the
dba group does exist).  Foolhardy DBA (moi) did not check the group
before installing the s/w and creating the database.  I would like to
"correct" this as quickly as possible and wonder what anyone thinks
about the following idea:

1. Shutdown everything
2. Get the default group changed to dba in /etc/passwd.  I know I can
change the group when I am logged in, but want to make it "clean" for
everyone going forward.
3. Do a chgrp -R dba on ALL oracle-related files including ORACLE_HOME
and all the datafiles
4. Restart

Thanks,
-joe
