Here's one possibility.. I've seen this happen before on Windows machines when there are restrictions set on advanced user rights at an active directory server level. The informix user needs the following advanced user rights: SeTcbPrivilege - Act as apart of the operating system SeServiceLogonRight - Log on as a service SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege - Increase quotas SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege - replace a process level token In some domain models the default is to restrict some of these and this can result in users getting -951 errors. I suggest you log on as informix and check to see if any of these are greyed out, or run proctoken.exe from the ntutils package on IIUG and look at the privileges that any process being executed by informix has.
