Oracle and SUN config question...

I have a quick question..
In a SUN environment, how would one place the oratab and oraInst.loc files within a directory that would be self-contained within the $ORACLE_BASE directory tree instead of /var/opt/oracle????  

I seem to remember a method on making that happen... But I have either encountered a Senior moment or I have destroyed that brain cell from last nites opportunity to talk with my friend, Jose, and his partner "the worm"..
(not to mention the possibility of talking to Jose's friend - Earl)
 

Thanks in advance!
