Permissions on Informix raw devices.

Im running OnLine 4.1 on a DECsystem 5000. All of my chunks are in raw partitions. Recently, in the midst of problem with one of our applications, a support person from the application vendor told us that we chould change the way the permissions on the raw devices are set. Ive set the character special devices to user informix, group informix and 660 permissions. I pointed out to them that this is what's documented in the OnLine Administrators guide. They said that they were told by an Informix engineer that the book was wrong, and that both the character special and block special devices had to be set to user informix, group informix and 666 permissions. So, my question is, is the book right or not? Thanks. -- Joe Matuscak Rohrer Corporation 717 Seville Road Wadsworth, Ohio 44281 (216)335-1541 Matuscak@Rohrer.com
