Does changing uid or gid of the Oracle User affect Oracle Clusterware?

There are a lot of files in the Oracle Clusterware home and outside of the Oracle Clusterware home that are chgrp’ed to the appropriate groups for security and appropriate access. The filesystem records the uid (not the username), and so if you exchange the names, now the files are owned by the wrong group. I could not get the user equivalence check to work on my Solaris 10 server when trying to install 10.2.0.1 Oracle Clusterware. The install ran fine without issue. <>> Cluvfy tries to find Ssh on solaris at /usr/local/bin. Workaround is to create a softlink from /usr/bin/ssh to /usr/local/bin.
