Folks, this is kind of on this topic. I was at an Oracle Technology day today in Boston, MA, USA specifically on the subject of Oracle 9i. Anyway, during the discussion on database management it was revealed that init files are on the way out, probably in 9i version 2. Their being replaced by an SF file that is humanly unreadable and consequently unmodifiable. Seems we'll have to do all modifications with the assistance of an alter database or alter system command. On the plus side, if your starting a database remotely you'll not need a copy of the init.ora locally.

Create the new directory, change them in the file and bounce the instance.
