Good reference. But even Tom Kyte's followup does not shedding any light
on how to keep the wallet on a diff. server.


I think the point was "don't do that" :)
That is, moving the wallet on a different server doesn't add much to
security - if my guess is correct, breaking the columns is several
orders of magnitude easier than breaking the wallet.
So an attacker would not even bother to examine the wallet;
why breaking Fort Knox to retrieve the keys of a small home vault ?
Hammer the vault instead.

But I hope that some security expert will chime in ...
