You don't *have* to do it manually. There's a Java GUI utility that
($ORACLE_HOME/bin/netasst on Unix) ... but you have to run it from a GUI
(such as Motif or whatever). But depending on your comfort level with
any Unix editor (I prefer vi), you can easily add a new entry. Just
mark/copy all lines beginning with 'GAURI =' and ending with the final
right parens, then paste it and change all GUARI to TEST (maybe change
the host also if you put it on another server).
With most Unix systems, you have to do a lot of manual things anyhow ...
so just add this to your list. :)
