RE: Off topic - Unix Question

Carlos:

The owner of the directory in /proc is the unix account who started up the database.
Oracle processes are owned by the unix account who owns the oracle executable files, in your
case oracle. It looks like root is in the dba group, which it would need to be in order to
start up the database. Now if that is a good idea, I am not so certain.
