RE: Listner contorl with password

Morning Bob,

>> So, the question is, what am I missing.

you could be hitting a bug that has been seen in 9i listeners. If the
file listener.ora has a '(' in the very first column, you get the
protocol error and can't start the listener even though you can stop it
happily.

It's supposedly fixed in 10g though - which is puzzling as your post did
indicate that you were running on 10g. Still, check the listener.ora
file, just in case.

Sounds like a silly problem, but I affected some listeners I have here.
Especially irritating is the fact that if you use the Oracle supplied
tools to create or update a listener.ora file, then you are guaranteed
to get '(' in column one!


Cheers,
Norman.
