You can use the Oracle Network Manager program (runs on PCs only I think) to build those files for deployment over your whole network. Basically, you describe what machines you have and where they are and what services they have and Network Manager builds tnsnames.ora files for all the clients and servers. I've only found it on the Oracle Products for Windows CD (not on the products for win95 CD!!!).
