linux folder permissions

 As directed by Oracle documentation, the oracle user should be the only member of the 'oinstall' group. However all alert and trace logs are created with the user/group of oracle/oinstall. Again as directed by Oracle documenation, dba users belong to the 'dba' group, and the oracle user also has it defined as a secondary group.

Now as a dba user, I am unable to read  the alert and trace logs unless I change permissions on them as the oracle user. Then I can read existing trace and alert files, but if a new trace file is created I cannot read it.

Howdy, Stranger!
