Re: Informix bin files ownership

Check out etc/install which is the Informix script that does the file ownership type stuff amongst other things. The later versions seem to have the abilty to correct the permissions but all the code you need is in there. The actually file and permissions are stored in etc/[on|se|etc]files, and can easily be used to correct the file permissions Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence >>> <"Muhammad Usman"@iiug.org> 08/18/99 05:11AM >>> Hi We had a tough time. For some reason, the complete Informix directory (incl. all binary files) the file ownership was changed to informix:informix, due to that we could not connect to database and were getting an error -951. We had called Informix Support and they found out the file ownership was changed. According to them, Some informix files must have an ownership root:informix. We were even asked to reinstall Informix engine. Anyhow, it worked once the binary files ownership was changed. But I really don't know what should be ownership for other files. I would like to know, if somebody has developed any script, which can change the Informix files ownership as default set by Informix. Shall be highly grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.
