Port sharing (port 1521) on Unix

Hi!

I have a rather basic question: is it true that under Unix, all dedicated server processes (=3D shadow processes) use port 1521 (i.e. = the
same port that the listener uses) because of"port sharing"?

On Windows, every dedicated server process get its own port (through port redirection) to communicate with the client.

Is this true? I always thought that also on Unix, port redirection takes place.

This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11i.

Thanks,
Helmut
