RE: Login Problems
Run tcpipdump/snoop on the linux host and look at the dump. The linux logins are authorized by PAM mod, if you have syslogd setup correctly, it should write to /var/adm/messages. Do you have 660 perms on infmx ? Can you connect using ilogin ? Did you setup your setnet32 ? ODBC ? hth, Sunil |-----Original Message----- |From: Brian Gillespie [mailto:nospambriangil@bdsn.com] |Sent: Friday, May 26, 2000 2:53 PM |To: informix-list@iiug.org |Subject: Login Problems | | |I'm having problems connecting to an informix database using a |GUI program |in windows.
