ORA-24323: value not allowed

Hello All,

    I am new to Oracle, and trying to learn on my own. Purchased "Oracle8i for Linux 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition" from Oracle Press by Steve Bobrowski (P/N 0-07-21440-7 ISDN 0-07-212442-3). Trying to get Oracle8i up on Red Hat Linux 7.

    Trying to get the instance up for the first time:

sqlplus

SQL> STARTUP OPEN PFILE=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initoralin.ora;

ORA-24323: value not allowed
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

    Here is the default initoralin.ini file that was created with the bundle:

db_name = "oralin"
db_domain = localhost.localdomain
instance_name = oralin
service_name = oralin.localhost.localdomain control_files = ("/usr/oracle/oradata/oralin/control01.ctl",
"/usr/oracle/oradata/oralin/control02.ctl",
"/usr/oracle/oradata/oralin/control03.ctl")
open_curses = 100
man_enabled_roles = 30

db_block_buffers = 2048 #INITIAL

log_checkpoint_interval = 10000

log_buffer = 163840 #INITIAL
db_block_size = 8192
remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive

job_queue_processes = 0
job_queue_interval = 60
distributed_transactions = 10

mts_dispatchers = "CPROTOCOL=TCP)(PRE=oracle.aurora.server.SGiopServer)" compatible = "8.1.0"
sort_area_size = 65536

     Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thank You,
