Hi: Very simple question. I don' have listenr.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin dir. But when I try to check the status (or any listenr command ) results in LSNRCTL> status Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1521)) TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password The person who set the listener password on dev machine has left. Now I want to get rid of the listener password? Thanks Sami -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
