The word passed back through the channel is that Informix : will not work with NIS+, as allegedly so will not Oracle or Sybase. : Supposedly, Sun is now meeting with the big RDBMS vendors to help (persuade?) : them to support NIS+. after further discussions with both informix and sun, it seems that informix will work under NIS+, but that informix does not support the NIS+ platform which probably means that it has not been fully tested under NIS+ and that there could be "unpredictable results". apparently informix is now feverishly working to get NIS+ as a supported platform, but in the meantime informix suggests you run it under plain old NIS (yp).
