[SunHELP] su question

[Will Hayes]

The oracle user ID has to be the file owner in most cases.  It also makes
maintenance of those files a little easier when one user owns everything.  I
think the original poster was referring to DBAs as "oracle users".

David, you should be able to get around the ftp/password problem by setting
up group membership and group write permissions on whatever directories need
to be accessed through ftp.  If a DBA is putting a file (allowed through
group privileges), they can chown it to oracle.  If they are getting a file,
then those same group privileges should allow them access to the appropriate
directories.

Enjoy,
Will

Why do the oracle users need to su to oracle? Is this the EUID of the server
process? If you want to place restrictions on these users when they are
su'ed to oracle, sudo may have some holes. If you could, elaborate more on
your needs and I might be able to give you some pointers :)

Thanks.
