Hi Sybrand

Is USE_SHARED_SOCKET=TRUE used without a firewall between the clients and the db? If so why and under what circumstances? You will note that I didn't say *specifically* for use with a firewall, but that is the only time I have run across it.

I wasn't aware that it was obsolete with 9i - but I expect that thats my ignorance showing.
