Modifying tnsnames.ora without using SQLNet Configurator.

I need to be able to modify the tnsnames.ora with a text editor and change
the time whereever so that SQLNet Easy Configurator doesn't realise that the
file was changed by an entity of than the Configurator.



Where does the configurator keep the the last edit timestamp, is it possible
to trick the Configurator into thinking that it made the change rather than
notepad.exe for example.



I need to role out an application to about 100 users and I wanted to use
InstallShield to modify directly the tnsnames.ora file without the user
having to fiddle with the configurator. Is this possible?



Maybe there is a more appropriate deployment strategy - network based
tnsnames.ora? Bear in mind that a lot of users will already be using their
own local tnsnames.ora with entries for other legacy Oracle instances.



Regards
