I had a similar problem in the same machine and solved with the EPC_DISABLED var. Just, every user who connects in local mode must have set this var to TRUE.
EPC_DISABLED=TRUE; export EPC_DISABLED

And, in the listener entry, for those who connect through sqlnet:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =

      (SID_NAME = <your_SID>)
      (ORACLE_HOME = <your_HOME>)
     (ENVS='EPC_DISABLED=TRUE') <--- Add this line.

    )
   [...]
   )

Hope this help.
