$ chmod 644 alert_operdb.log
Why are you doing that? That means file alert_operdb.log is readable to every one, then you don't need to make user rozan a member of oinstall, because rozan can access that file with 644 even if she is not a member of oinstall group.

Parent directory should have 750 permissions.
