You need to run script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/helpins. Look it over first, you need to do a setenv SYSTEM_PASS system/xxxxxxx before you start. I don't remember all the details and this was for a HP-UX system so yours may be different.
This is just another example of poor installation documentation from Oracle. I do not know where this is documented, I found the answer in this news group several months ago. There are several other scripts in rdbms/admin that you may need to run. I guess you just have to keep guessing till you hit the right one. That is what I do when something doesn't work. I wish there was one place in Oracle installation documentation that CLEARLY documented all of these scripts and procedures.
Hope this helps,
John
