I found this on the metalink: Default permissions are rw-r--r--,which can be overridden by the following factors:
1) The Oracle instance owner's Unix umask since Oracle is the owner of all the server processes. It is the server process that writes the UTL_FILE output file. 2) For network connections, permissions are set by umask of the user that starts the sqlnet listener. The Listener spawns a server process which inherits the listener's userid. If you set the umask for the user before starting the listener and use the listener to connect to the database , the permissions are set by the umask. So the permission might be different when you connect directly and connect through the listener to the database. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 4:08 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Ok, I log in as oracle, touch a file I get 664 permission on it. But when I create a file through OEM or a plsql procedure I get 644 permissions. My umask is 02. On another system - solaris everything ok. Both .profiles are the same. Sys admins no help. Any clues?
