I am running FC3 and I came from vacation yesterday. I installed all patches that yum found, a new kernel among other things, and did not re-link oracle. One little "relink all" fixed the problem. I am growing old, I should have thought of that myself. Thanks again. -- Mladen Gogala http://www.mgogala.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
