Please help us decide the proper way to respond:
What security concerns do you have?
How well do you understand Oracle Networking (aka SQL*Net and Net8)?
How familiar are you with the Oracle Networking documents for the version of Oracle and the network protocol(s) you use?
Have you looked at Pete Finnigan's "Oracle security related" web site at http://petefinnigan.com?
BTW - you have not mentioned the client or server OSs, the Oracle version, or the network protocol. We'd have to make a few assumptions: Windows 2000 (Windows users almost never identify the OS, whereas others tend to do so); Oracle9i (many organizations woke up to the value of Standard Edition around the release of Oracle9i); TCP/IP.
