Yup, tried those with no hits. Those processes must be long gone. I had mistakenly copied over my Windohs version of SQLNET.ORA, which the SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES parameter seems to have a problem on Linux. I tried re-enabling that, but am unable to recreate the dumps. I also see that some of the files were generated with the listener down, at least according to $ORACLE_HOME/network/log/listener.log.
Even Oracle Support is stumped.
