The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Oracle file permissions

Asked by sikyala in Sun Solaris

Tags: oracle, file, permissions

A Security Readiness Review (SRR) script was run against our servers operating system and several STIG violations related to Oracle directories were found.
These files are listed below:

-rwsr-s--- 1 oracle dba 2986436 Mar 31 14:12 dbsnmp
-r-sr-s--- 1 oracle dba 11784 Oct 14 2004 oradism
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 65422428 Mar 31 16:53 oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 65357392 Mar 31 14:13 oracleO
-rwSr----- 1 oracle dba 1536 Apr 12 01:06 orapwriacurw
-rwSr----- 1 oracle dba 1536 Apr 12 01:20 orapwriacutm

I am not familiar with how SUID and SGID works. Do these files have a sticky
bit set on them? The security team says that the permissions are a sticky bit violation and that they need to be changed (i.e. remove the s). My concern is whether or not changing these permission to satisfy them will cause certain processes not to run or break anything in Oracle. If these permission settings must remain this way then I have to supply a written justification. Can someone provide and explanation, guidance, and/or recommendation for this issue?
