Are you in 21 groups? There is a limit of 20.

Who is the user and what is the group?
(What is the output of id(1)?)
If the user is osa1, I don't see it in your group file, so it can only be the member of one group.

What's missing? Both root and oracle look fine.
Each is a member of gid and the ones in groups.

Dear Dennis

Hi,

reading your first question

<<

and then your latest
>>

<<

I don't them together with your /etc/groups file:
- there is no entry osa1
- oinstall has no additional members

So ask yourself
- which user- and groupnames are used by the oracle team?
And then
- check these entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
- add additional members to the group entries (last field, comm seperated) if needed

Then you need to add root to the oinstall group.

Yes dennis u are right
but what do u mean by "Then you need to add root to the oinstall group."

>but what do you mean by "Then you need to add root to the oinstall group."

Either edit /etc/group directly and change the line to:
oinstall::200:root

Or try usermod(1M):
# usermod -G oinstall root

Unfortunately that probably will give you:
Login root is currently in use
