That error is telling you that the home directory for the oracle user
doesn't exist.
"su -" tries to change to the new user's home directory; try leaving
off the "-" option, which should leave you in the current directory.

Of course I post this thread with knowing that the home directory is
exist aloready. What are other possibilities ?

Firstly follow the sage advice above and don't post to so many random
groups!
Make sure your name service correctly maps the home directory and the
auto-mount service is running.

Ah, then what you should do is find as many newsgroups as possible that mention

What does the home directory listing in /etc/password for user oracle
say it is supposed to be?
Is /etc/password where oracle user information will be retrieved
first? I.e. are you using NIS or NIS+
as well? Does 'files' appear before 'nis' in /etc/nsswitch.conf?
Are you using automount for user oracle's home directory? Is it
mounting properly?
Not really enough information to go on.

try this
# getent passwd oracle
it gives you what the OS thinks what is oracle's home dir (6th field).
and then
# ls -ld `getent passwd oracle | cut -d: -f6`
it will show you the owner, group and permission of the oracle home dir
(if exists).
or post the output of both commands here to discuss the results.
kind regards

How about guessing again.
All Shift-2 (circle with an a in the center) symbols in this
person's headers (and the Subject) have been changed to "(at)" in
order to keep googlegroups from obscuring the addresses they are
a part of.
This person's headers and article are not only going to be
archived, they are going to be archived much more thoroughly than
they would otherwise have been.
If something is worth posting it's worth archiving

happytoday
/>getent passwd oracle
oracle:x:104:101::/home/oracle:/bin/bash
/>ls -ld `getent passwd oracle | cut -d: -f6`
/home/oracle: No such file or directory
I do not know why the home directory has been changed from /export/
home/oracle to /home/oracle. I will switch in /etc/passwd to /export/
home/oracle
Any further suggestions ?
Thanks

/export/home/oracle should be automatically mounted to /home/oracle by
the automounter when /home/oracle is accessed. You most probably will
need an entry for the oracle user in /etc/auto_home, like
oracle <server name or ip>:/export/home/oracle
Replace <server name or ip> by your real server's name or ip address.
After appending such a line you should restart the autofs servive:
svcadm restart autofs
man automount
will give you some more information about automount and related tools.
