Re: Getting started

Alex, I think, i can help u. First set in your ~informix/etc/sqlhosts the name of the database that should be accessed. e.g.: #$INFORMIXSERVER PROTOKOLL HOST SERVICE #************************************************************************** idefixlocal seipcpip idefix sqlexec idefixremote sesoctcp idefix sqlexectcp Second set in your /etc/services the sqlexec and sqlexectcp (for e.g.) with no 1525 and 1526 as service-no. (you can choose every not used number....) Third set up your $INFORMIXSERVER (must not, but it is better) to the value idefixremote. At last run the daemon sqlexecd whith $INFORMIXSERVER as parameter. You can log all accesses with the parameter -l <logfile>. This is it. Bye Andy M.
