SolutionWhen you run an installer, or an autoconfig, or any of the Oracle tools that love to fool with any of the .xml files laying around in the installed (or yet to be installed) directories - the tool will often comment out the old contents of the /etc/oratab and put in there what it thinks it needs.
You can just delete those lines starting with "*", they are commented out.
BTW, I hardly ever let Oracle manage those files, I keep an "/etc/oratab.keep" backup file handy to restore and edit manually after an Oracle tool "fixes" my file for me from time to time.

Re: oratab question
means in fact 'NO SID'.
And the behaviour is deliberate.
You can customize it by replacing the *
with the actual sid name or a dummy name.
Also it is allowed to have multiple entries.
I agree with John that you can delete these
lines in your case as you have already
added new lines for your SID's , then it is
safe to delete the first 3.
Oratab is used dynamically by
oraenv, dbstart and dbshut and of course
you can write your own scripts based on it.

Re: oratab question
:-)
Don't let the Oracle tool "fix" your oratab for you - know what's in it, what's supposed to be in it - and keep a backup.
