Re: Permissions on Informix raw devices.

} } Im running OnLine 4.1 on a DECsystem 5000. All of my chunks are in raw } partitions. Recently, in the midst of problem with one of our } applications, a support person from the application vendor told us that we } chould change the way the permissions on the raw devices are set. Ive set } the character special devices to user informix, group informix and 660 } permissions. I pointed out to them that this is what's documented in the } OnLine Administrators guide. They said that they were told by an Informix } engineer that the book was wrong, and that both the character special and } block special devices had to be set to user informix, group informix and } 666 permissions. } } So, my question is, is the book right or not? } We have always set out to 660, with no problems. ---- Naomi Walker (aka N7FSA) | naomi@anasazi.com | Phoenix, Arizona Everything should be made as simple | as possible, but not simpler --Einstein | Visualize Whirled Peas
