Catching up on old Oracle-L:
The only benefit I can see from it is that it prevents
me from doing something like rm -rf /u01/oradata/db01/*.dbf
when logged in as myself.
If I were really trying to lockdown the db's, each install of
Oracle would have different owner:group. DBA would not
have access to any files.
That just leaves root.
and since su - oracle still works...

Looking for general consensus here. Do people really set up an
oinstall group and make that the oracle owner default group? Since
this is not mandatory, does anyone have sage words on why this is
recommended in Oracle install guides?
