different version different owner for IDS

Hi There, I regularly setup our machines to run multiple versions of IDS on the same machine and I always have it by the book as owner informix and group informix. Recently I was asked by a security administrator was it possible to have separate instances owned by different accounts? For example the 32bit instance would be informix32 and the 64 bit instance would be informix64. My reading to date suggests nothing has changed and therefore we could not do this. More importantly, it would need to be supported. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Regards Chris

Chris Dont know why your administrator would want to run as different users. This just sets up more userid's that add to the security risk. You can set different user-ids that belong to group informix and these can start the engine. You still need user informix and group informix ... plus all the other users he wants.
