As I stated in my previous post, our NIS+ has been working with Informix for almost a year now. Sun's user and passwd calls automatically authenticate against NIS (or NIS+) as long as it is set up correctly. That is what I mean Informix does not need to do anything (well, maybe a little bit). Informix is using OS's accounts and hence it is the OS that should verify user accounts like Solaris does. Chao
