Sybrand/Dan,

Thanks; I'm becoming convinced of the 64bitedness.

the dir $ORACLE_HOME/lib (ref'd in LD_LIBRARY_PATH) contains a bunch of files of the "ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable AMD64 Version 1" variety.

As for port string:
SQL> l
  1 select dbms_utility.port_string
  2* from dual
SQL> / PORT_STRING

---

AMD64/SunOS-4.0-8.1.0

Note that a known 32 bit install yields:   1 select dbms_utility.port_string
  2* from dual
13:26:28 system_at_popt.us.packetmotion.com SQL> /

PORT_STRING

---

Sun386i/SunOS-4.0-8.1.0

Happy New Year.
