Actually with Oracle7 on Unix, the SQL*Net V1 and V2 aliases can now be placed in /etc/tnsnames.ora or /var/opt/oracle/tnsnames.ora depending on your platform.

Format of the file is as follows:

aliasname = connect_string

Example (of V1 and V2 entry):

---

sales = t:prodhp:sales
sales_v2 = (description=

              (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=prodhp)(port=1521))
              (connect_data=(sid=sales))
           )

Hope this helps.
