Re: Oracle problem on Red Hat Linux 6.1

That is truly a nice thought, however the financial resources are not in place for such an ambitious undertaking; alas, I am saddled with Red Hat Linux 6.1 for the interim. The interesting thing about this is that the remote network connections work quite nicely; it is the local connections that fail to complete for Linux users other than 'oracle'. This truly has me baffled.
