Permissions of any directory specified for LOG_DIRECTORY_CLIENT changes from 666 to 660.

Hi,

DB version 10.2.0.4 . We reproduced issue in the AIX 5.3 platform. See detail steps:

1) All operations are performed with  root user

1. login as root user

2. export ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

3. Add one entry in the $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora where the value of SERVICE_NAME is a fake (ORCL should be invalid).

###

ORCL =

  (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS_LIST =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <hostname.domainname>)(PORT = <port>))

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)

    )

  )

###

4. Check the permission of /dev/null, it's 666 usually.

-bash-2.05b# ls -la /dev/null

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     system        2,  2 Nov 11 23:07 /dev/null

5. Add following entries in the $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora
