Incidentally this is not strictly the case on XP, 2000, 2003.

Subject: RE: 9i listener for 8i DB not recommended???

Yesterday a Metalink tech told me that on NT 4 the listener has to be running using the same user as the instance, presumably because on Win32 Oracle.exe runs as one process and user sessions are created as threads of that process.

(ref tech note 228217.1)

Maybe this is related (?)

Just throwing it out as a thought

Subject: Re: 9i listener for 8i DB not recommended???

I recently installed a 9i database on an NT server that already has 8i on it. The listener for both was setup to be 9i, disabling the 8i listener.

It has proved to be somewhat cranky. I've noticed that even though the service starts automatically, it sometimes will not work correctly unless it is manually started via lsnrctl.

Could be a version problem. Or it could just be an NT thing, which is good at not starting services correctly anyway.
