onstat: Shared memory: permission denied.

INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.12.UC1 AIX ***** 1 4 *********** Hi Family. I have run into an anomaly on an AIX machine. Normally, even as a vanilla user, I can run onstat commands and even get a limted menu onmonitor. On this system, onstat earns me the above message. If I try to run onmonitor, I get: Unable to attach to shared memory. Permission denied YARGHHHhhhh!! What could possible be causing this grief? I have compared the ipcs -m output on another AIX system: Where I have no problem: m 36865 0x52574801 --rw-rw---- root informix m 36866 0x52574802 --rw-rw---- root informix m 16387 0x52574803 --rw-rw-rw- root informix m 8196 0x52574804 --rw-rw---- root informix m 4102 0x52574805 --rw-rw---- root informix m 7 0x52574806 --rw-rw---- root informix And on the system where I can't do it: m 20481 0x52574801 --rw-rw---- informix informix m 20482 0x52574802 --rw-rw---- informix informix m 4101 0x52574803 --rw-rw-rw- informix informix No significant difference I can see. So wazzamatta?
