Relax File System Permissions

Giuseppe Sacco offers the following advice: Once you have installed Oracle, you may decide to ``relax file system permissions'' by running the script

$ $ORACLE_HOME/install/changePerm.sh

(I had to use this script since my application uses Oracle library files in $ORACLE_HOME without being part of the dba/oinstall groups.)

This script uses the unix command sort, but it looks for it using the (wrong) complete pathname /bin/sort while the Debian pathname is /usr/bin/sort. I suggest to add a link from /bin/sort to /usr/bin/sort or to change the script variable SORT accordingly.
