SQL*Plus afiedt.buf in Oracle 8.0.5

I am using Oracle 8.0.5 on Linux and am having problems editing SQL commands from SQL*Plus - I keep getting the error message "cannot create save file afiedt.buf" when I try to edit unless I am logged in as the oracle user (dba group) that I used to install the software. After poking around, it seems changing permissions on my directories to 777 allows afiedt.buf to be created, but it is owned oracle/dba and is created as rw-r--r--, so I still can't use it.

I figure this is something small, but can't seem to figure it out... Received on Tue Mar 02 1999 - 19:10:43 CST
