Configuring new clients does not involve a listener configuration. The
listener is a server component. You have to distribute copies of
tnsnames.ora (and possibly sqlnet.ora) that contain information for
connecting to the server. I'm not sure a silent install of Net8 can do
this for you. You can also write a short setup script (InstallShield,
WISE, or just a batch file) that runs silently and makes the tnsnames
entries for you.
