Created the Oracle user account like srikanth 9i
          Log in as a Oracle user, we set the environmentfile (bashrc)

          Check all the permissions & groups
          In bashrc set some required variables like
            export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/srikanth
            export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10103
            export ORACLE_SID=sri
            export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
            export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
            export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
             export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
