    In Windows it needs to be a user with Admin privileges. Take a look at the services and see which user they are running under. In Linux, take a look at the files and see who owns them. There should be an Oracle user in Linux. "ls -l $ORACLE_HOME" will show you the files in the directory and who owns them among other things.

    Don't have a machine with oracle on to hand. What does more /etc/oraInst.loc give you?

    Just a thought - does it really matter if you don't know who it was who was logged in as that user at the time?
    If I have to choose between two evils, I always like to choose the one I haven't tried yet.
