rcmd: Connect all users from one server to ONE user in the other

Hi, I have 2 boxes (SCO & RedHat) with Informix databases. In SCO I have a large database with +50 different users and a lot of information, and in RedHat I have a small database with only a couple of users accounts for admin purposes. I need, while connected to the SCO db, to execute remote queries to the RH db. The configuration for this is task is the same used for the r* commands (rlogin, rmcd). I created the hosts.equiv entries and modified the Informix config files, and if the user with wich I'm connected to SCO exists in Linux, everything works fine. The problem occurs when user exists in SCO and not in RH. Is there a way to "trust" all the users from another server WITHOUT creating them in BOTH servers? For example, create a user in RH that will be the default user to execute the commands? Thanks in advance for your help !!!

No. IDS uses the OS's user validation services, so if the user is not known by the server's host machine he cannot get access to the databases on that server. Art S. Kagel
