Yes, there is a documented bug in the Informix TechInfo bug database which is fixed in 7.30UC6. I don't have the bug number at hand, but it hit us, too, even though we are not on Solaris but on Siemens Reliant Unix. The bug led to error -951 when trying to connect to the database as a user whose "minimum" field in /etc/passwd was "0". This was a combined problem with Reliant Unix where all NIS users had this set to "0" as default. Hope this helps, Richard -- +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | Dr. Richard Spitz | INTERNET: richard.spitz@lrz.uni-muenchen.de | | Weidenstr. 15 | Tel : +49-8141-33578 | | 82256 Fuerstenfeldbruck | FAX : +49-8141-346531 | | Germany | Mobile : +49-172-8933578 | +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
