Re: Question About Oracle Security issue.....

Richard, *if* the oracle server machine is (or can be) seperated from *all* the client machines onto a different network segment, you might be able to place an intellegent router between the segments and configure the router to deny routing to ports 1521 and 1527 on the oracle server box from the specific workstations you wish. In addition to that you could implement challeneged access in other fashions.

I have to echo Daniel A Morgan's concerns about the wisdom of this notion. This sounds like a really unworkable idea to me and probably wont really solve your problem.. Remember that a fair number of users know how to change their IP/IPX address or they can simply go sit at someone else's workstation.
