And as we can see you are not using spfile.
.
I suppose, in different organization there are can be different security
requirements.
.
Hemant, I can bet your listener, are listening on deferent port then 1521
and protected by password (many sites haven’t this).
Have you considered to run Oracle software under different Unix account
then oracle (lets say under user with name zona262db) and dba group rename
to cra213 for security propose?
There also recommendation to lock Oracle Software owner account and switch
to it from another one.
.
I just would say, there are different sites as well as different
requirements.
.
If you have height security requirements I would recommend to order
“Oracle Security Step-by-Step” by Pete Finnigan.

maximum.

Please respond to oracle-l

As a rule, I prefer "REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=NONE "
Thus, only a local account in the "dba" group can login as SYSDBA, preventing logins over remote connections.
I even had an auditor point to my Plumtree database {where Plumtree's init.ora used a REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE} and ask me to disable it.
