First of all : if they are on the server, and they have ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME set *they don't need the listener AT ALL to connect* as they will be using IPC automatically. So I don't see why you should start the listener before creating database objects, it is completely unnecessary.
Secondly: as Oracle 7.3.4 has been desupported on December 31, 2000 I would recommend against training new people in Oracle 7.3.4. It doesn't exist anymore, it is not supported, and 8.0 will also disappear soon.
