RE: suppressing username and password prompts in dbaccess

NO!!! NEVER USE .rhosts and or hosts.equiv. Ok, so that may be an overkill. As a systems administrator, I routinely sweep my systems for users who use .rhosts. This is a big security no no. With respect to hosts.equiv, you need to be careful and limit this to machines that are behind your firewall and are really equivalent hosts. For example, if you have two systems that you're doing HA type work. > Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 15:57:12 +0000 > From: smiley73@googlemail.com > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: suppressing username and password prompts in dbaccess > > On 19/12/2007, skurlander@yahoo.com <skurlander@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Our site is running Informix Dynamic Server 11 on Linux.
