Title: RE: host from SQL> prompt

I wish I could train them like monkeys, but no, it's an account for tech. support
and they're ssh'ing into the production box, and I want to limit their access and give
them no way to get to a command prompt, if I can avoid it.  Would you believe that
they were originally setup to get into the box as the owner of the oracle software..SCARY!

Are they telnetting in to your server and then running SQLPlus at the
command prompt or are they running SQLPlus from their client and connecting
via SQLNet?

If the first, then "host" will not give them anything that they won't get
from the telnet session.

If the second, they they'll most likely end up at the ORACLE_HOME\bin
prompt of their workstation.

Are your users really just trained monkeys in disguise and you don't want
them to try to recreate the works of Shakespear via random keystrokes?
What's the real issue here?

How can I prevent users from typing "host" to get to an OS prompt while
logged
into a DB account with an OS account?� They can host to a prompt now, but
they
can't do anything useful from there, since $ORACLE_HOME is the only thing
in their
PATH...just wondered if there is an easy way to prevent the use of the host
command
all together.

TIA!
