Re: Question About Oracle Security issue.....

[Quoted] Richard, *if* the oracle server machine is (or can be) seperated from *all* the client machines onto a different network segment, you might be able to place an intellegent router between the segments and configure the [Quoted] router to deny routing to ports 1521 and 1527 on the oracle server box [Quoted] from the specific workstations you wish. In addition to that you could implement challeneged access in other fashions.

I have to echo Daniel A Morgan's concerns about the wisdom of this notion. This sounds like a really unworkable idea to me and probably wont [Quoted] really solve your problem.. Remember that a fair number of users know how [Quoted] to change their IP/IPX address or they can simply go sit at someone else's workstation.
