This is a good point, i can't use the tnsnames.ora, because my 
oracle-software is placed in the global filesystem AFS ...

So, could this be a problem, if i have to got all informations only from dbcheck.ini ?

Yep, telnet to port 1521 is working .. to  lcg3d-a-v-1/4

I'll change the sample config file and put this behavious also in the documentation I'm writing for the next version (the actual documentation is not really well written and organized).
