Re: Why Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux listens on TCP-sockets without a listner

I tried to set it in sqlnet.ora. But it does not help. As I understand the network configuration does not matter because the background processes begin to listen to TCP ports BEFORE there are any requests from clients. The listing of netstat -ap just after starting oracle looks like this:

Proto LocalAddr ForeignAddr State PID/Program name

tcp        *:1099  *:*   LISTEN  869/ora_reco_TM
tcp        *:1098  *:*   LISTEN  867/ora_smon_TM
tcp        *:1097  *:*   LISTEN  865/ora_ckpt_TM
tcp        *:1096  *:*   LISTEN  863/ora_lgwr_TM
tcp        *:1095  *:*   LISTEN  861/ora_dbw0_TM
tcp        *:1094  *:*   LISTEN  859/ora_pmon_TM
tcp        *:1093  *:*   LISTEN  859/ora_pmon_TM

TM is my SID.
I saw other people ask the same question but found no answer. It seems that the 8.0.5 distribution for Linux as provided by Oracle is linked wrong by default.

Thanks for answering.
