We, too are looking for a replacement for shared TNSNAMES files and had come
across the paper listed below on using OpenLDAP. It sounded just like the
solution we were looking for  but when we tried to follow the directions we
found that they were written for an Oracle 8.x environment, were using 9.2,
and Oracle has packaged LDAP differently in newer releases and we could not
find the files which were used in the directions. Has anyone tried to update
the directions in this paper using a 9.2 release?

Of course, that is nothing that NFS or Samba couldn't do. 
If you intensely dislike software monopolies  and their 
"right to innovate", you will not use Micros*t technology,
even if it was the only thing on the world. In this case,
there are many available technologies, better or equal to
those of the BSOD peddlers. NFS, Samba, rsync, source control
technologies that have distributed checkout and OpenLDAP
can all do the job. Here is a great paper by Jeremiah Wilton
which shows you how to do that with OpenLDAP:

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against MS.
At least, I don't have anything efficient.
