oracle will be writing to the directories ... so add the Oracle RDBMS owner
in
the group owning the directory OR let the owner of the directory be the
application
user but change the group to dba.
In either case, you would need chmod g+w on the directory.

Since we use utl_file to read/write files from our application
directories(which are not owned by oracle), we need to set the permissions
on these directories so that Oracle has permission to read and write to
them.

However we run into problems because Systems Admin guys do not like :

1. setting 777 permissions on the directories
2. making our application user a member of the oracle group

Anyone had the same problems?
