The name and location of the SQLnet log file is determined by options in 
the sqlnet.ora file, usually found in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin or 
wherever the environment variable TNS_ADMIN points.  The options are:

LOG_FILE_CLIENT - the name of the file (default sqlnet.log)
LOG_DIRECTORY_CLIENT - the directory (default is your current directory)

If you don't set these values, the default dumps the sqlnet.log file in 
the current working directory when a program runs into an Oracle exception.

Hope that helps!
