SE won't play on NFS mounted file systems (certainly not an SE as old as yours - more recent versions might). The next most likely problem is that SE has misidentified /some or /some/where (or /some/where/my.dbs) as an NFS-mounted file system. That happens if the inode number is unexectedly large. Relatively unlikely, but not impossible. > Any ideas ? > Whick protocol sould I be setting on the client ? > > THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!! > > Backgroud : > Informix on SCO 5 server > Informix 7.22SE Antique - pre-Y2K and not officially Y2K-compliant.
