Those other users are supposed to use the InstantClient's client tools which do not require ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. They (might) require /etc/tnsnames.ora but not the environment variables. If you set the environment variables, you will force the other client libraries (cx_Oracle, perl-DBD-Oracle) to dynamically load libraries from the Oracle XE distribution, which are *not* the libraries they were compiled and tested against. Thus, you might experience Oracle libraries issues in the future. And if I remember correctly, you've already experienced them in the past. This is the reason we recommend to follow the installation and setup instructions properly. -- Jan Pazdziora | adelton at #satellite*, #brno Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
