Hmm. As far as I know permissive means it's only warning you of possible violations, but not interfering. What if you for example try to do a chmod -R 755 $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or on $ORACLE_HOME/network ? Can you read libagtsh.so using "file" or "strings" Is the user you're logged on as the owner of the file ? What permissions does the file have ? (ls -al would help) And lastly, what happens if you try to chmod it directly ? chmod 755 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libagtsh.so Stefan ========================= Stefan P Knecht CEO & Founder s@xxxxxxxx 10046 Consulting GmbH Schwarzackerstrasse 29 CH-8304 Wallisellen Switzerland Phone +41-(0)8400-10046 Cell +41 (0) 79 571 36 27 info@xxxxxxxx http://www.10046.ch ========================= On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 3:57 PM, Nagaraj S <nagaraj.chk@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Stefan, > > ls -R oracle diplays list of files under respective directories > > I think it is enabled > > bash[]> cat /etc/selinux/config|grep -v "#" > SELINUX=permissive > SELINUXTYPE=targeted > > > - Show quoted text - > On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 8:15 PM, Stefan Knecht <knecht.stefan@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > >> What happens if you do ls -R oracle (from within the same shell you >> executed the chmod that failed). >> >> Do you have SELinux enabled ? >> >> Stefan >> >> >> ========================= >> >> Stefan P Knecht >> CEO & Founder >> s@xxxxxxxx >> >> 10046 Consulting GmbH >> Schwarzackerstrasse 29 >> CH-8304 Wallisellen >> Switzerland >> >> Phone +41-(0)8400-10046 >> Cell +41 (0) 79 571 36 27 >> info@xxxxxxxx >> http://www.10046.ch >> >> ========================= >> >> >> On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 3:36 PM, Nagaraj S <nagaraj.chk@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> Hi Mark, >>> I got strace cannot be found.
