Apple GUI tools start assigning user and group IDs at 500, whereas the Informix installer starts at 100. The installers should use a safe range of IDs when creating the informix user and group. Workaround is to manually create the informix user and group, then reinstall the product. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2008.0513 -- http://dbi.perl.org/ "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
