Hello all,

In an Oracle 8.1.7 instance that I have inherited on a Soalris
2.7 server, the owner of the logfiles under $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/adump,
bdump, cdump and udump is the UNIX ID oracle, group oinstall.
 The permissions on these files are 640; in other words, only
the oracle ID and any ID in the oinstall group can read these
log files.

We have a backup process that runs under another ID, with a group
of dba.

The backup process cannot see these log files in order to back
them up.

Two questions, first one:
If the group dba had been chosen as the SYSDBA and/or SYSOP as
part of the installation process, would the dba group have read
permissions on these files?

Question two:  
Can something be set to make these files readable by other users?
 I don't think "_trace_files_public = true" will do it.


Thanks,
Lou Avrami
