Environment:

   Oracle 8.1.6
   AIX server behind a firewall
   db is accessed by a Windows application running on a IIS web server sitting outside the firewall

db uses port 1521

After a flurry of email between the Unix admin and the 4 software vendors concerned, all the fingers are now pointing at "that damn oracle database". The Unix admin is asking two questions:

what Oracle is doing with the four ports 20,000 - 20,003
can he shut them down?

Any ideas are appreciated.
