I just tried that on our Linux server that's running Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5 and it appears to be true.

 

[oracle@dbalab2 ~]$ uname -a

Linux dbalab2 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Sun Oct 15 14:02:40 PDT 2006
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[oracle@dbalab2 ~]$ ls -al sqlnet.log

-rw-r--r--  1 oracle dba 0 May  6 10:45 sqlnet.log

[oracle@dbalab2 ~]$ chown rgoulet sqlnet.log

chown: changing ownership of `sqlnet.log': Operation not permitted

On HPUX non-root users can chown on files.  It appears on RedHat 5 this
is not allowed.  The sysadmins are saying that there is no way to grant
users this ability with Linux.  Is that true?
