Don't forget you need an LDAP.ORA file as well. Example:  

DIRECTORY_SERVERS=(<server1>:3838, <server2>:3838) DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT=""
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=OID   Dick Goulet

Subject: Re: tnsnames.ora file maintenance

Since it works as ldap you just say in SQLNET.ORA: NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES,LDAP)
This way, if there is no tnsnames.ora or the name is not in tnsnames.ora, sqlnet will try the LDAP.
This gives you the best of two worlds, including the ability to put in the local tnsnames.ora only the entries you want to override or test instead of all the entries.

Otherwise, everyone shares the same tnsnames.ora file. The tnsnames.ora file gets updated infrequently and when it does, it gets distributed to the desktops upon login.
