RE: LSNRCTL Password

Could you explain please how somebody with DBA provileges on another node can shutdown listener on another node without logging as user of the node where listener is running.

I see someone has already given you instructions on how to use a password with listener.ora.

Just thought I might add that they are fairly useless, as you *cannot* prevent someone with dba group privileges on another node of the network from shutting down your listener.

They won't be able to start it, but they'll sure be able to shut it down, and you can't keep them from doing it.

We ran into this at my last employer, and decided passwords on the listener were a waste of time.
