ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Productionsqlplus "/as sysdba" is throwing ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error.
Noticed that few files / folder were having group ID as the same as that of userid i.e gid=userid
Ideally gid should be "dba"
used the chown -R command and changed the gid to "dba" at the ORACLE_HOME base path.
Now everything is showing the gid as "dba" but still I get the below error while logging in as sysdba.
Tried opening a new session but still no luck

$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 5 04:45:47 2012
