I think I had to give access to swapinfo during installation time. I don't remeber that I gave any other permissions to agent user. I don't use oracle to run it - we always use other users to run even Oracle instances (as well as agent, OMS, etc.).

 that EM and the installer require an OS account that has access to binarie=
s in "/usr/sbin" as well as the oracle databases and other programs.  With =
Solaris and Linux, I've used the Oracle Software account ("oracle") for thi=
s, since those same binaries (e.g. "ifconfig" and "swapinfo") are not prote=

cted.
