Not with Oracle 7.1.4, 7.1.6, or 7.2.3 on a SGI Unix box. If I want to use the Oracle Network Manager I must convince my project purchase a Windoze 3.1 machine. What really twists my shorts is Oracle's documentation threatens you, that if you manually edit these files they won't provide any support. Every time any document talks about the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora, they have their warning do not manually update these files, always use their Oracle Network Manager (which they fail to supply).

Though I have never used the Oracle Network Manager, I've read the manual and it explicitly states that it can't update all the files and the DBA must manually make these updates.

Now I don't know if Oracle will refuse to help me if I run into any troubles, but their documents claim that they will.
