I take it you are new to Oracle but not Unix. What did you install exactly? Did you create a database? The listener.ora and networking files in general are in the $ORACLE_HOME/netowrk/admin directory and not etc/ You may also wish to change the init parameters, you can do that in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or $ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/pfile

You usually don't use dbstart to start up the database unless you are root as well and that's usually called from CRON or something.
