You have to create a user informix and make it the only member of a group informix BEFORE you install your Informix software. Otherwise root will not be able to grant any permissions to informix, user or group. Surely the install aborts if Informix user and group don't exist? And why should informix be the only member of group informix for the install to work > > AB > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com -- Paul Watson # WF Software # It said use Windows95 or better Tel ++44 1436 674729 # So I used Unix Fax ++44 1436 678693 # www.wfsoftware.com/informix #
