Thanks to everyone for the ideas on the init.ora. You were correct that the answer is indeed with spfile. Now I have discovered a catch-22.

Oracle 9.2, Solaris

If spfile is created with LOG_ARCHIVE_START = true, database will not start. Receive the error ORA-00439 feature not enabled: Managed Standby
Creating the spfile with LOG_ARCHIVE_START = false works and the database starts. Issuing ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START works, but it isn't changed in the spfile, so the next time Oracle is bounced, the archiver doesn't start.

This is starting to smell like a bug, but I thought I'd run it past the list on the off-chance someone else has gotten archiving turned on for 9.2. Thanks.
