Setting up a new listener with netman

Hello,

I browsed through the archives of this newsgroup on DejaNews, but couldn't find the answer, so forgive me if this is a FAQ.

Platform: SGI Indy running IRIX 5.3
Oracle: 7.1
SQL*Net: 2.?? (where is this version listed exactly?)

....

Problem: After using netman to generate new sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, and tnsnames.ora files I copy them to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. I then restart Oracle. Unfortunately Oracle does not properly start the new listeners that I created in netman, but defaults back to the previous setup (1 IPC based listener).

Attempted solutions:

1. Tried searching for other listener.ora -- didn't find any others
2. Tried using lsnrctl to restart the listeners -- no dice..

Possible ideas:

1. listener.ora is in the wrong place...seems unlikely though
2. Something is telling Oracle to ignore this file and to use 1 IPC listener instead..

    I don't know too much about this, but the INIT file for this SID     ($ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initCOE1.ora) has the following puzzling info:     

mts_dispatchers="ipc,1"
mts_max_dispatchers=10
mts_servers=1
mts_max_servers=10
mts_service=COE1
mts_listener_address="(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=COE1))"

    Could this possibly be overriding the listener.ora file?

....

Thanks in advance!
