Re: Error -952 on Debian (7.x WE)

Hi, maybe you got the wrong password encryption method with your switch of OS ? IDS normally supports only the wellknown UNIX encryption (as done by crypt() system call), but not e.g. MD5 (where MD5 used to be default on some Linux distributions). With 9.40.UC2 onwards, you can also utilize PAM. See $INFORMIXDIR/release/en_us/0333/pam.txt for more info in you are interested in this.
