This is fine and should be replicated on the client

you have two choices here which is put in each user and servername or just
the server name would depend on your security
server_name user_name
OR
server_name
}
}These 3 files are the identical on every host
}
}Questions:
}
}Q1. $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts
} No multiple sqlexecd daemons are expected to run on one Unix
} machine so, do I need this file?
} In case I needed it, how this file must be?
YES
server_name protocol db_server_name service_name
}
}Q2. There is one PC running I-Net that have to access each of these
} machines. How the $INFORMIXDIR/etc/hosts should be for the PC?
Identical to your server's /etc/hosts
}
}Q3. How the .profile should be? (DBPATH).
# INFORMIX environment
INFORMIXDIR=/some/place/informix
ONCONFIG=onconfig.yours
INFORMIXSERVER=db_server_name
}Thank you very much for your help.
Hope that helps
