There were some funny games on SCO systems where /dev/tcp or somesuch was missing but being looked for -- there was typically another device, something like /dev/net/tcp instead, and you needed to do a symlink so that /dev/tcp points to /dev/net/tcp. Only I'm working from vague memory, so the names are probably wrong. If you have truss or another system call monitor program, try running that on oninit (truss -o oninit.out $INFORMIXDIR/bin/oninit) to see what device the software is failing to open. You then need to poke around to see what device you need to use instead -- and there's no guarantee that the filename component is the same. You might also look on your system to see what errno 24 means; on Solaris 7, it means to many open files, so you may have a kernel configuration problem rather than a missing device file. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
