Re: Informix On-Line error: "not trusted by server"

Hi, The 956 error usually indicates that the connecting machine is not known as a trusted machine by the server. The quickest way to fix this is to create an entry in a file named .rhosts file in your home directory on the server. In this file make an entry of the following format: connecting_machine_name username If your creating dbspaces and backing up logical logs my guess is that your connecting through the network even though the database is local so your entry for the connecting_machine_name would be the same as the server. You may want to look into a an ipc shared memory connection which is faster, but the above should get you going for now. -Bill > > Whatever I do, I get the following error: > > 00:44:43 listener-thread: err = -956: Client host or user> (informix@torserv2.econnect.ca) is not trusted by the server. > > Essentially, I want to do a logical log backup and create other > dbspaces. > > The cause could be that non-exact (multiple names) machine name was > provided when installing Informix.
