Tim,

If you do not need the EXTPROC listener functionality, you can comment out or remove that section of the file (or do the same via the Net Manager utility).

You can checkout docs on Metalink or on Pete Finnegan's site as to how to secure the Oracle TNS Listener. At least put a password on it and disable remote administration.
