RE: Can only run sqlplus as oracle userYou are spot on. SETUID was not set.
I corrected and now all is OK

  The only thing I can think of is the SETUID bit not being set properly on
the oracle executable:

  -rwsr-s--x   1 oracle     dba        112951296 Oct  2 10:45 oracle*

    I have applied the patch and run the changeperm script

    The error I get now is

    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

    ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment

    SVR4 Error: 13: Permission denied

    I do not get this error when logged into Solaris  as the oracle user,
only when logged is as another user.

    Any ideas?

      This may be due to bug 4516865.

      You can try:
      . cd $ORACLE_HOME/install
      . sh changeperm.sh

      This fixed my problem with not being able to run sqlplus from other
user accounts.

        Platform is Solaris 10, Oracle 10

        I can run sqlplus OK when logged on to Solaris as the oracle user,
but if I run sqlplus when logged in as another user I get the error

        ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file

        Oracle environment variables are the same for both users.

        Why should it matter what unix user I am logged on as?
