oratab.sh tries to set the environment variable GROUP, but under Linux, this variable exists by default. It can't be overwritten within a shellscript.

I solved this problem by copying oratab.sh to disk and editing it. I renamed all GROUP entries to OGROUP and then ran the script. It worked fine.

BTW the oratab.sh just creates the file /etc/oratab.
