RE: Anyone have a copy of DUL ??

Forgetting about a piddly, little-known OS called Neanderthal Technology. Where default Oracle installation tosses everything out there with full control for everyone -- or it used to do that. But even if you change the permissions, anybody that needs to do anything on the box must have administrator privileges; so tightening up the permissions is bit like trying to piss up a rope.
