Yes and no. I have not tried encrypting sql*net itself, instead I have logged on to database server box from remote machine by saying

ssh -x -l shell_account_name -L 1521:dbserver:1521 dbserver

and left that session there. Then I've modified tnsnames.ora to point to machine 127.0.0.1 instead of "dbserver" and it works very well and should be secure enough. This doesn't work with oracle7+mts but 8.0 and 8.1 listeners seem to be quite happy with ssh pipes.

sql*net encryption is there, I know, I have not used it.
