    listener password in oracle 7x

    Dear All,


    How to set listener password for oracle 7x.

    I am trying the following:

    lsnrctl>change_password
    old password:
    new password: ***
    Reenter New Password: ***
    lsnrctl>set password
    Enter password: ***
    The command completed successfully
    lsnrctl>save_config
    Unknown command type "help"

    when i type "help", it doesnt show save_config as a command in oracle 7x.

    Please advise.

    From the manual:

    LSNRCTL> SAVE_CONFIG [listener_name]
    Arguments
    [listener_name]: Specify the listener name, if the default name of LISTENER is not used.

    Are you using the default name for LISTENER?

    From a LSNRCTL for NX Version 7: Version 2.1.4.1.0 session (Oracle 7.3.4):

    LSNRCTL> help
    The following operations are available
    An asterisk (*) denotes a modifier or extended command:

    start stop status services version reload
    trace spawn quit exit cancel* repeat*
    set* show*

    As you say, there is no save_config - perhaps it's saved by default in that release?
    If I have to choose between two evils, I always like to choose the one I haven't tried yet.

    You are partly right maybe, you are right in saying the listener password is set, but it does not put an entry inside listener.ora file, which signifies the password is not hardcoded.

    As soon as you stop the listener once after you set the password, the Security clause goes into "OFF" state and the listener password is no longer valid ....
