Re: Newbie question: Informix SE on Linux

Because I'm +not. Informix expect service name not port number. Yes, you may use the port number. It eliminates the lookup into /etc/services. Furthermore, you could substitute the ip address for the hostname, eliminating the need to do a lookup in /etc/hosts, dns, nis+, etc (and avoiding your uname -a situation as well).
