    Please note that some non-Database products (i.e. Grid Control cloning) may expect the name of the oinstall group to literally be "oinstall", and may fail to function properly if a different name is used.  You should also refer to an article I wrote on this subject on My Oracle Support (MOS) / Metalink...
    Note:463052.1  UNIX: Do I Need To Use The "oinstall" Group?

    Be sure to read the disclaimer notes at the bottom of note:463052.1 to help you decide the primary/secondary group names.
