Hi,

I used SQL*Plus 8.0.3.0.0 to connect to Oracle 8.0.5(Linux) and the error returned was "ORA-12500: TNS listener failed to start a dedicated server process". The listener log showed,

03-MAY-99 19:09:17 *

(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\ORANT\BIN\PLUS80.e
xe)(HOST=RRP)(USER=sshark))) *
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.1.130)(PORT=

1682)) * establish * ORCL * 12500
TNS-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process  TNS-12546: TNS:permission denied
  TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error    TNS-00516: Permission denied
    Linux Error: 13: Permission denied

What could be the possible error and what is Linux error 13? I checked my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora (included), it seems right to ME.
