Using ORACLE 8.1.6 on AIX 4.3, I want to implement ORACLE role security using os_roles. ORACLE doc says to create UNIX groups with a name in the format 'ora_orasid_rolename_d'.

Even this sample group name is 21 characters long. My UNIX sysadmin says that I cannot create a UNIX group with more than 8 characters in it.

So how do I implement os_roles under AIX?
