Listener and extproc security

I'm looking for clarification on securing extproc, specifically in regards
to accessing it over TCP in 10.2.0.3.  My understanding is that a separate
listener is recommended for extproc which only listens to IPC calls.
Otherwise, if the database listener was used, extproc and any allowed
libraries on the server could be accessed remotely via TCP.

Most of what I've read on this is from a 9i security bulletin, but I haven't
seen anything so far that says the situation has changed in 10g.  Is my
understanding of the situation correct, and is this still the recommended
configuration?  I want to make sure I have my facts strait before I
recommend this to my coworkers.
