RE: Changing the osdba group

Stephane,

          Just realised that the #define SS_DBA_GRP doesn't exist in
          the config.s file for v8.1.6 ( I wonder why ??? ).
          I am pretty sure it was there till v8.1.5.

          In that case the following will work.
          Change these entries to dba i.e.

          /* 0x0008	  15 */		.ascii	"dba\0"
          /* 0x0014	  22 */		.ascii	"dba\0"


          Then you can follow these steps.

          Go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
          1) remove config.o
          2) Re-create the object file for config.s :
                   make -f ins_rdbms.mk config.o
                   make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

             Note : You have to use ins_rdbms.mk since oracle.mk doesn't
                    exist any more. oracle.mk was used prior to 7.3.
          3) Go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and type the following :
               relink all

             Note : This step is absolutely essential. Just a change to
                    config.s wouldn't help. All the executables have to
                    be relinked.
          4) Also, as I pointed out earlier make sure that "dba" group
             exists in /etc/group. Also do a recursive change of the
             group to dba as follows :
               cd $ORACLE_HOME
               chgrp -R dba

I am sure this should solve your problem.

Best of Luck.

Regards,
Anil Sikri
