Hey all.. I get the following error when trying to startup the oracle name server:

NNL-00018: warning: could not contact default name server Starting "/usr/local/home/oracle/dist/8.0.5/bin/names"...server not started, errors follow
"NO-00307: invalid server name "ott_ns1.world NNO-00808: Message 808 not found; product=NETWORK; facility=NNO

NNO-00806: Error: OCI_ERROR ""
NNO-00270: ORACLE error

Here is my names.ora file:

# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant

NAMES.SERVER_NAME = ott_ns1.world

NAMES.ADDRESSES =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pmerd1)(PORT = 1575))

NAMES.TRACE_LEVEL = 10
NAMES.TRACE_DIRECTORY = /usr/local/home/oracle/dist/8.0.5/network/trace
NAMES.TRACE_FILE = names.trc

NAMES.ADMIN_REGION =
(REGION =
(DESCRIPTION =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pmerd1)(PORT = 1521))
      (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = best)(Server = Dedicated))

)
(USERID = namesvr)
(PASSWORD = namesvr)
(NAME = LOCAL_REGION)
(REFRESH = 86400)
(RETRY = 60)
(EXPIRE = 600)
(VERSION = 134230016)

)

and my sqlnet.ora:

# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant

NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pmerd1)(PORT = 1575))
)

TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=10 TRACE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT=/usr/local/home/oracle/dist/8.0.5/network/trace

LOG_DIRECTORY_CLIENT=/usr/local/home/oracle/dist/8.0.5/network/log

SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0 SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = requested

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = requested

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES) One weird thing I have noticed is that I can't even connect to the database using SQL*Plus, but if I move my sqlnet.ora file to say sqlnet.ora.bak and try to login again it works....

Any ideas??
