Did this work okay in the past and just start happening?  Did the
permissions on the audit file destination get changed?

It isn't and in any case if I log onto Solaris as the oracle user and run
sqlplus it works fine

        Check to make sure your audit file destination isn't full.

        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?


        $ sqlplus /NOLOG
