I have noticed that the Informix documentation is remarkably vague in this respect. In all of the documents I could see, it simply stated that the name must be listed 'in the sqlhosts file'. It never points out that it should be the first column! This might be obvious to more experienced users, but if you are setting up this sort of thing for the first time, it is exactly the sort of issue which confuses you. -- Conor O'Neill, Aethos Communication Systems Ltd, Bristol, UK
