Unfortunately, it's not just a problem with this product. Some Oracle products like OEM can incorrectly populate TNSNAMES.ORA "for you" because of course that's always the best thing to do (and isn't there another Oracle product that requires it or am I confusing that with the semi-Intelligent Agent's requirement of a LISTENER.ORA?).
And Quest's QCO will largely not work correctly in v2.4 (and to some extent in 2.5) without a correctly populated TNSNAMES.ORA (sorry Jacques!). I went around and around with Quest Support as to why this is incorrect and why I refuse to manually populate a TNSNAMES.ORA on some or all clients. Supposedly, it'll be fixed in v3. Desperately trying to get rid of all TNSNAMES.ORAs on all non-DBA boxes...
