Hi,

I am having problem starting listener with the following listener.ora
file on 9i. Listener fails to start with error TNS-01150: the address of
the specified listener name is incorrect. If I remove the first three
lines, it starts up fine with each instance UNKNOWN and duplicate READY.

My tns_admin path is fine. I don't know what else to do. I want to get
rid of this UNKNOWN instance.

Using red hat linux.

Thanks
Bobby
