correcting permission on Informix
>
>
>
> As it is known, in the directory with the Informix's program files, there is
> a necessity that some of these files must have particular rights and/or owner,
> group, etc...
>
> If the permissions or the ownership of these particular files change for one
> reason or another, the system stops being operational.
>
> Is there any method which enables us to restore the correct permissions and/or
> ownership of these special files, if by mistake there is a change on them,
Yes, just fix them (chmod). The enclosed script will print out any files which
are set incorrectly for any informix product.
