Oracle software just follows the UNIX convention that a personal config
file stored at the user's $HOME begins with ".". Other than that,
there's really no explanation I can or need to make. If you truss
-topen tnsping yourSID, you'll see something like



open("/home/huany1/.tnsnames.ora", O_RDONLY)    = 3
open("/var/opt/oracle/tnsnames.ora", O_RDONLY)  = 3
So it checks the personal .tnsnames.ora file first.
