This all pertains to the "listener" component of SQL*Net V2, which is responsible for inbound sessions. If your system is running client programs only (no RDBMS or gateways) then you shouldn't need the listener.
There are password facilities in lsnrctl. Depending on how you have configured things you may need to run lsnrctl interactively and provide a password before doing "start", "stop" etc. To run it interactively just type "lsnrctl". There is a brief builtin help.
