Re: strange trace files appearing when logging in.

Hi Bengt,

This is caused by the Oracle Trace facility which is on by default. There have been bugs in several versions, though it should work in 7.3.4. To switch it off completely make your have an environment variable EPC_ENABLED=FALSE in the oracle .profile or change the initxalora.ora accordingly.

Hth,
