Paul,
As others mentioned, it's OK to update the file. You might want to
investigate your startup scripts - you may or may not have any. If this
box ever gets rebooted, you may have to startup the database manually.

Subject: Manually editing the oratab file - is this OK?
We're currently running Oracle 9.2.0.6 on all our servers, both Windows
and Solaris.
After using OEM in stand-alone mode for some time, I've been given the
task of implementing the full 3-tier architecture. So I've set up a
Management Server and created a repository. I then tried to
auto-discover all the nodes running Oracle database instances. It soon
became apparent that all the Windows servers (on which the databases had
all been created using DBCA) were running Intelligent Agent, and were
discovered OK. However, our two SUN Solaris boxes didn't auto-discover,
because they weren't running the Intelligent Agent. So i started IA on
each server, and tried again. OEM discovered the nodes, but no
databases. I soon discovered that the oratab file on each of these
servers contained only a single line:
*:/opt/oracle9i:N
