Re: IUS problem (system catalogs?)

Dear Sharon, To fix the -951 error you need to re-create the informix login ID on the unix box. But make sure it is the same user id as the informix files in you informix dir. If needed create the user and then edit /etc/passwd to change the user id. I dont know about your other corruption problems but that is the cause of a -951 error.
