Re: error 952 in sqlexecd with SE 7.24 ond SuSE 9.3

Hi, more likely I would guess the reason is the use of a password encryption method that is not supported by SE. SE only supports authentication with passwords encrypted by the normal "crypt" (UNIX system call) method. It does not support things like MD5, blowfish, etc. If you want to support password encryption methods other than the normal UNIX "crypt", you have to use IDS (9.40.UC2 or later) and configure it to use PAM (and provide the respective PAM library). To my knowledge SE cannot make use of PAM.
