Good day all! I was hoping to open up some discussion on the topic of root or informix "owning" the database instance. I was recently troubleshooting another Informix db server when I noticed that all the oninit processes and even the raw partitions were owned and grouped by root instead of informix. Would anyone care to share their experiences/opinions about this? We have alot of DBA/SA people here - so I seem to see alot of this.
