Map 2 users privileges

Hi All,

I am new to linux world and hope to get the response of my question. I have one user oracle and one more user created with the name of orptsap and I need to make privileges similar to oracle , which is part of DBA group. although i have created the user and it also able to login, but I really doubt , it has similar privilegs to oracle.

PHP Code:



-- oracle user ------- 
[oracle@tbx4new ~]$ id oracle 
uid=501(oracle) gid=502(dba) groups=502(dba) 
----- oraptsap user --- 
[oracle@tbx4new ~]$ id oraptsap 
uid=2602(oraptsap) gid=502(dba) groups=502(dba) 
 
----- when login to oraptsap user following is returned --- 
login as: oraptsap 
oraptsap@tbx4new.am.elcompanies.net's password: 
Last login: Wed Jun  6 16:41:33 2012 from 172.30.174.63 
Could not chdir to home directory /home/oraptsap: Permission denied 
-bash: /home/oraptsap/.bash_profile: Permission denied 
-bash-3.2$ id 
uid=2602(oraptsap) gid=502(dba) groups=502(dba)

Well, they are both in the same group, which seems to be what you want.

I suspect you've given ownership of oraptsap's home dir to the oracle user (or someone else who is NOT oraptsap.)
This is wrong; user must own their own home dir and contents.
Just use eg

Code:

ls -l /home

ls -al /home/oracle

and adjust oraptsap's ownerships / perms to match, but using oraptsap, not oracle .
