I am trying to install Oracle and everything works fine all the way to the end of the installation.

The problem i have is the permissions allocated to the files and directories in the $ORACLE_HOME directory. When i installed oracle i set umask to 022. This resulted in the following directory format


ls -ls $ORACLE_BASE
   2 drwxr-x---   3 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 23 16:30 admin

ls -ls $ORACLE_BASE/product/
2 drwxrwx---   3 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 23 16:16 10.2.0



ls -ls $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0
drwxr-x---  60 oracle   oinstall    1024 Jan 23 16:30 db

   2 drwxr-x---   6 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 23 16:19 xdk


Now everything works correctly if im using the oracle:oinstall user (i.e. the user that installed oracle). If i try to run sqlplus as a different unix user i get permission denied errors.

The permission denied errors are as a result of the above permissions not allow other users execute permissions. How can i resolve this? Is it safe to just do a
chmod -R 755 on $ORACLE_BASE or is there a better way to fix it?

My other question is i thought that setting umask 022 was the correct setting. Are those the permissions you would expect from a succesffull installation?

Thanks
