In recent versions of Oracle, by default the programs and libraries
installed with a server installation are only usable by the DBA group.
Oracle calls this a "hardened" installation and provides a script to
soften it, if you need to. I assume there are security reasons for this,
but I haven't been able to find an explanation (admittedly I haven't
looked very hard). Or maybe they just want to nudge people into
separating client and server installations ...
