I personally had the opposite experience. When I tried to set up Oracle Names, I first tried Oracle Names for Oracle NT 7.3.4. I never was successful in starting it, and when I called Oracle support the person on the phone said "I've never managed to make it work either." When I tried Oracle Names 8.0 on HP-UX it worked right the very first time.
If one wanted to set it up (it's not really that much more difficult than starting up a listener), I would asking someone to provide sample configuration files (i.e. names.ora and sqlnet.ora). With examples of those two files it should be easy.
