I am writing a system to allow representatives of all the departments here on campus to register hosts for nameservice. What they will do is telnet to the host, login with a standard user name and password which all of the representatives will have, then be able to add information about computers on campus. Each representative has a range of IP numbers assigned to him that he/she can assign at will. I want to descriminate between users at the informix level, not the unix level. I can do this, but I need a way for them to login using informix under the same unix account. If I added accounts for each representative, our account list would increase by 80+. They won't be using it often enough to warrant that many accounts. Some may use it once a month or less. Does this clear it up? Why do you say I will have problems? I am open for any suggestions. -- Sean Eckton -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Internet: ecktons@sirius.byu.edu Brigham Young University, Provo, UT.
