Re: Oracle networking temp files in /tmp
Hi Rich Try lsof or fuser on them?, if you get the process ID you could try attaching truss to it and see what its being used for.

RE: Oracle networking temp files in /tmp
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.

RE: Oracle networking temp files in /tmp
A-ha! Just when I'm on the virge of bashing them, Oracle Support comes thru (to be fair, I've had very good response from them lately). The files are leftovers from linking and can be safely deleted.

Re: Oracle networking temp files in /tmp
Rich, Cannot verify now but if I remember correctly, these files are generated by a program in $ORACLE_HOME/bin Look for something like gen* (gennttab ??) This program is generally called during some oracle relink.

The only files with anything in them are the BEQ*, TCP*, and US* ones, which coincides with the installed networking protocols, except for the US* ones. It appears that those contain some sort of dump or trace. For example, the file TCPS29871 starts off with: ntz.o: d NZPKCS12_MAGIC_NUM U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ U calloc U free t gcc2_compiled. U lxmcpen U lxsCmpStr U memcpy U nldsfprintf U nldtotrc U nlepeget U nlhthfre U nlhthget U nlnvcrb U nlnvdeb U nlnvfbp U nlnvgap U nlpagbp U nlpagsp U nlpagvc U ntctst U ntpafind 6d00 T ntzAllocate 7040 t ntzCheckServerDN 1120 t ntzConfigure 24c0 t ntzConvertToNumeric 6860 t ntzCreateCipherSpec 08e0 t ntzCreateConnection Anyone know what these might be? Since this is my desktop, I'm really tempted to just blow them away and see what happens, but if nothing happens it won't be much fun.
