I noticed on one of our system 8i on Solaris 8, the shared memory and semaphores shows to be owned by root:dba? While all other systems are oracle:dba, which is what I expect to be. Has anyone seen this? The permission on oracle binary seems to be fine. Any ideas? /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin> ls -al oracle -rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 39305760 Jun 14 2002 oracle /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin> ipcs -b IPC status from <running system> as of Sun Apr 18 22:32:10 PDT 2004 T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP QBYTES Message Queues: T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP SEGSZ Shared Memory: m 2 0x41de8019 --rw-r--r-- root dba 4194304 m 3 0x44de8019 --rw-r--r-- root dba 8388608 m 4 0x41de8041 --rw-r--r-- root dba 4194304 m 5 0x44de8041 --rw-r--r-- root dba 134217728 T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP NSEMS Semaphores: s 0 0x1 --ra-ra-ra- root root 1 s 6 0x41de8019 --ra-ra-ra- root dba 12 s 7 0x44de8019 --ra-ra-ra- root dba 2 s 8 0x41de8041 --ra-ra-ra- root dba 12 s 9 0x44de8041 --ra-ra-ra- root dba 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
