hi,
I have problem setting up the password for Oracle 10g listener. After
successfully setting up the listener password, I was still able to stop
the listener without having to provide a password. I did verify that
the PASSWORDS_LISTENER clause was added in listener.ora.

The steps I ran are listed below. Works fine in 9i but not in 10g.
Looked up in the documentation but could not find anything that has
changed in 10g. Has anyone experienced this or know what the problem
is?

LSNRCTL> change_password
Old password:
New password:
Reenter new password:
Connecting to
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=devhpv)(PORT=1521)))
Password changed for LISTENER
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL> save_config
Connecting to
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=devhpv)(PORT=1521)))
Saved LISTENER configuration parameters.
Listener Parameter File
/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/admin/listener.ora
Old Parameter File
/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/admin/listener.bak
The command completed successfully

LSNRCTL> exit

$> lsnrctl stop
