I installed Oracle on a Solaris 9 box. To do so I created a user for Oracle, but nothing special had to be done beyond that. At one point I needed to su to root to run a single script as part of the installation process, but that was it. In this case the program is Arcserve, which is backup software. I have yet to look at the installation procedure, and it seems to need a "high level user account". Sláinte, Richard S.
