restrict remote listener administration

For some of the readers this could be well know but I asked the very same question a couple of months ago without receving a good answer.

Even researching the newsgroup archive showed nothing so I'm posting the solution I have found.

How to prevente remote administration (and remote shutdown of the listener)?

I didn't like to entrust a password: it didn't prevent the remote administration and the reboot scripts had to be changed (errors could still be made from machine to machine or during/after a migration).

Today I've found a listener parameter:

ADMIN_RESTRICTIONS_[listener_name]=ON

I hope this could be of help for others.

PS: young, point 16 of Oracle Idiosyncrasies needs to be updated. ;)
