Re: SQLNet.ora per Listener?

The sqlnet.ora is found in $TNS_ADMIN (if that is set) so why not set it before starting one of the listeners (and change it or leave it default for the other)

eg

TNS_ADMIN=/my/nonstandard/net/admin lsnrctl start ...

NB:
*env=value command parameters
*causes the env to be set to value and included in the environment of the command

In the non-default directory pointed to by $TNS_ADMIN you can make tnsnames.ora (if needed) a symbolic link to the "real" tnsnames.ora.
