I am having connect problems with Informix running on Linux. If I type dbaccess instance@database, I am able to connect. But, if I go into dbaccess, then select 'connect', enter the instance name, enter a valid user name, enter a valid password, it returns error -952 ( 952: User's password is not correct for the database server) Has anyone seen this error before, or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Sean

You will have this problem if you are using shadow password file or PAM authentication on Linux. Infomrix is fixing this in a future version but for now... Art S.

I have Informix on Linux and I had the same problem. I just pressed return for both user and password prompts and it connects. > > Has anyone seen this error before, or does anyone have any suggestions? > > Thanks, > > Sean > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
