RE: Solution to 100's of Oracle clients installed with Net8 and local tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora

Yes, we did something very similar with SunOne (formerly iPlanet). The = problem comes in with all those Support bux that we pay that don't do us = squat when Oracle Networking takes a dump. Will it happen? I doubt it. =  But I'm not willing to bet my future paychecks on it. We're sticking = with ONAMES -- for now. Maybe 10g will be (is!) different.

Of course, that is nothing that NFS or Samba couldn't do.=20 If you intensely dislike software monopolies and their=20 "right to innovate", you will not use Micros*t technology, even if it was the only thing on the world. In this case, there are many available technologies, better or equal to those of the BSOD peddlers. NFS, Samba, rsync, source control technologies that have distributed checkout and OpenLDAP can all do the job. Here is a great paper by Jeremiah Wilton which shows you how to do that with OpenLDAP: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html
