Each instance has (depending on configuration) about 8 processes managing it. I do not exactly remember (working with NT know) whether they show up with LOCAL=NO. The background processes show up in both the v$session and v$process view and their pid is also listed there, so it should be possible to map up your 'orphan' connections to v$session entries. It looks like the answer to your questions is a big NONO.
