Is it a 'MUST' that the password file be in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory?

Can I change the destination directory for the oracle password file destination? The reason being I have multiple instances for the same installation.

Thanks in advance.

Hy,
it's not a "must", but doesn't matter if you run 1 or more instance on same installation, each file is identified by ORACLE_SID enviroment variable at creation time:
ORACLE_SID=<SID>; export ORACLE_SID
orapwd file=$PATH/orapw<SID> password=<password>

bye
