Hi All, I'm running Oracle 9.2.0.6 on RedHat Linux 3 AS. I'm seeing slow connection times to the database from remote clients such as our web-server. I can tnsping the listener in around 10-20 msecs, but when I try to login in it takes a minimum of 2 seconds. Sometimes over 20. I'm archiving my listener log every night to make sure that it doesn't become huge. I have seen this same behavior with the listener log large. Any Help Appreciated. Thanks, Magnus Andersen Systems Administrator / Oracle DBA Walker & Associates, Inc.
