No standards or conventions that I'm aware of. On my Solaris boxes
the Oracle user tends to be UID 100 and the dba and oinstall groups
tend to be GIDs100 and 101 respectively but that's just because they
tend to be the first user and groups I create after setting up the
box.
If you need consistent UID and GID accross servers (e.g. if you're
using NFS mounts) then your best bet is to use a directory service
rather than local files for the Oracle user (whatever you do don't put
root into the directory, sure it'll work for a while but the fallout
when anything goes wrong is truly horrifying). Use LDAP or NIS+ (NIS+
is easier to set up and support but less flexible and sure than LDAP).
