I've installed the SE and SQL software on our Solaris x86 : system, and it seems to work fine as root, but I get the following error when : starting isql as a non-root user: : INFORMIX-SQL Version 4.00.UE1 : : 350: Index already exists on column. Are you using Yellow Pages (NIS)? If so, then this is a very old bug. But then, you're on a very old version. The bug is fixed in I-SQL 4.12. You can work around it by putting an entry for the user in the local /etc/passwd, or as a variation on this workaround, add the following entry in the local /etc/passwd: +username::0:0::: This allows the user to still use all the info from yp, but establishes the account locally as well.
