I found this on the metalink:

Default permissions are rw-r--r--,which can be overridden by the following factors:

The Oracle instance owner's Unix umask since Oracle is the owner of all the server processes. It is the server process that writes the UTL_FILE output file.
For network connections, permissions are set by umask of the user that starts the sqlnet listener. The Listener spawns a server process which inherits the listener's userid.

If you set the umask for the user before starting the listener and use the listener to connect to the database , the permissions are set by the umask. So the permission might be different when you connect directly and connect through the listener to the database.

Ok, I log in as oracle, touch a file I get 664 permission on it.

But when I create a file through OEM or a plsql procedure I get 644 permissions.

My umask is 02.

On another system - solaris everything ok.

Both .profiles are the same.

Sys admins no help.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Kathy
