[More stuff deleted] I wonder if you could clarify what you mean by this. All my DBA stuff is done by me logging on as user informix *with a passord*. This password is kept, rightly I believe, as secure as the root password. All of the tables in my database are user/group informix and user informix is the only member of the group informix. Still with me? 8-) So are you suggesting that this is wrong? not a right as it could be? What? I'm confused. | I work with some bloody strange people, and so do they! | |------------------------------------------------------------| | Stuart Hemming | shemminga@cix.compulink.co.uk | | Tudor Labels Ltd | uunet!cix.compulink.co.uk!shemminga | | Roman Bank Bourne | Tel : (+44) 778 426444 | | Lincs PE10 9LQ.
