Configuration:

Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 x86_64 on RHEL4 , using ASM and ASMLIB. 4 gigs mem, single Xeon (dual core), 4 D1000's with 48 drives through three dual interfaced controllers (8 - SCSI hookups) controlled by ASM.

Has anyone else seen this?
If you start ASM with a non-Oracle binary owner ( a user who is in the DBA group, of course) and you try to start an ASM client database, the database startup fails claiming:

ORA-15055: unable to connect to ASM instance ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
