ORA-07320 error as non-oracle user

Hello all,

I am trying to access our Oracle 7.3.3 database on a server that was just built. The server is running Solaris 2.6.

As oracle I am able use sqlplus and login as any user. As root or any other user on the system I get the following:

ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-07320: smsget: shmat error when trying to attach sga. SVR4 Error: 13: Permission denied

I'm rather new to the oracle arena being a UNIX admin person but know we have had this problem before. I seem to recall it was a permissions issue on one of the files but cannot remember what our DBA did way back then. He's since left the company so of course, now I am stuck.

If anyone has seen this and can help that would be great.

Thanks,
