As the subject says, just curious how many people out there have passwords on their listeners?

Some external group auditing us for SOX is saying that its a best practice but in my 8 years as a DBA i've never seen it.

I can see if we had problems with listeners going down unexpectedly but this has never happened. Are there security holes that I should be aware of that recommend having a password?

(I'm aware of the iSQLPlus bug in the latest Oracle CPU, but we don't use it..)

tnx. Received on Tue Aug 02 2005 - 09:59:09 CDT
