    root owns files in db2 instance directory.


    I am checking an existing DB2 installation on Red Hat Linux and I see
    that root owns files in the db2 instance home directory.

    Stuff like:

    ../sqllib/adm/db2chparm
    ../sqllib/adm/db2stop
    ../sqllib/adm/db2genp
    ../sqllib/adm/db2start

    The instance owner can access the files because it has membership of
    the owning group but I would have thought that the instance owner
    would have owned all files in it's home directory. Does it matter?
