Q: How to test ANO encryption is working?

How can I test and verify that SQLNet connections are encrypted when

ANO is enabled (i.e., REQUIRED) at the server and SQL client ends? I
am using Oracle 7.3.2.3.0 on Solaris 2.5.1 (using SQLPlus 3.3.2.0.0 to
connect and test).

	I tried using Sun's snoop network packet filter program to

catch packets destined to the listener (port 1521) and examine them, but I do not see any difference (in the packets) with or without the following 2 lines in my sqlnet.ora file.

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = ACCEPTED
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER = (DES,DES40,RC4_128,RC4_40,RC4_56) I am not a seasoned Oracle user or dba, so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
