Re: where do i put the tnsnames.ora file?

The sqlnet configuration files go to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin in Oracle 7 $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin in Oracle 8.0
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin in Oracle 8i

If you have different versions (with different Oracle Homes) you can also put them in the /etc directory.
The files you list are *samples* only.
