Yes, it is possible.
The following parameters on your database init.ora relating to this are (if my
memory serves me correctly):
remote_os_authent=true
os_authent_prefix=ops$
Create the account you will use on your Linux box. Then create the externally
identified account on your database. From your Linux client you should be able
to connect by issuing 'sqlplus /' after setting the client environment.
A word of caution: anyone knowing your database tnsnames and the name of the
account could potentially connect to your database. That sounds pretty bad! You
might want to look into tcp.validnode_checking and tcp.invited_nodes pars on
your server's sqlnet.ora and/or have the OS firewall setting that opens the
listener port only to your linux client.

You may look on the external users identified by ssl certificates (if
you are on 10g onwards).
Not sure about additional licensing costs (i.e. whether it is part of
ASO or not).
Best regards
