My first question is although directory belong to dba group, then why "id wmdwhadm" command doesn't show dba group ? I am thinking that user wmdwhadm belongs to dba group. Please help in making me understand.
I ran an Oracle job which creates files in "in-process". But job fails with error:
Its related to insufficient permission. When i changed permission to 777, job ran successfully.
I noticed that oracle user also belongs to dba group and directory's group is also dba group (as per above ls command). Can you please explain me why job failed given oracle user is in dba group and directory's group is also dba.
(Am i missing some thing in understanding the meaning of dba group in directory listing. ? )
Please help
Thanks.

My /tmp is set with the following permissions (777) and a 't' at the end.

When I create a directory under /tmp (tmp/xx) it gets created as 755
as expected.
Yet when I create a file within that directory (/tmp/xx/yy) the permissions
are not 755 they are 644.
