I've double-checked. Net8 Tracing is turned off. Here is the lsnrctl
status output:
LSNRCTL for Intel SVR4 UNIX: Version 8.1.5.0.0 - Production on 17-NOV-99 22:48:43
(c) Copyright 1998 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC0))) STATUS of the LISTENER
Alias LISTENER Version TNSLSNR for Intel SVR4 UNIX: Version 8.1.5.0.0 - Production Start Date 17-NOV-99 22:34:44 Uptime 0 days 0 hr. 13 min. 59 sec Trace Level off Security OFF SNMP OFF Listener Parameter File /export/home/OraHome1/network/admin/listener.ora Listener Log File /export/home/OraHome1/network/log/listener.log Services Summary... PLSExtProc has 1 service handler(s) GEBI has 4 service handler(s) MAIN has 4 service handler(s)The command completed successfully
So, unless I've missed something, Net8 tracing isn't the problem. Any other ideas?
