No Trust/No HDR?
Is it necessary to use either a hosts.equiv or .rhosts file to maintain a "trust" between two hosts which are members of an HDR pair? Is there any _secure_ method to establish and maintain the trust which the informixserver recognizes aside from using a dated technique that has …

Unexpected RSS authentication failure for 'leap16_2_c_tcp' during the Initialization Phase.

Informix HA Cluster and CM
