David,
Putting a network card in the computer creates a security hole. Follow
Oracle's recommendation & set up the extproc listener so that it only listens
for local IPC activity. That way it ignores the network card all together.
Second run it under a non privileged account, like NOBODY. Also give EXTPROC
it's own SID.

Subject: listener for external procedure
Hi List,
I posted a message on this topic a few days ago. I did not receive any
reply due to my e-mail system issue. So I post it again.
We would like to use InterMedia searching text content against a clob field.
In order to create domain index for InterMedia, we have to configure
listener for external procedure. But our system administrator says that it
will open a security hole if we do this. Currentely we are running Oracle
8.1.7. Does any one know if this issue has been fixed in 8.1.7? Is there
other way to do text searching instead of InterMedia?
Thanks in advance for any inputs or forwarding previous replies.
