Erro 952 on IDS on Linux Red Hat 6.0

Hi, We installed IDS on Red Hat 6.0. Everything seems to work perfect, but when trying to connect from remote clients (iDemo)/SQL-editor) we get the errror -952: ------------ Find error explanation --------------------------- -952: User's password is not correct for the database server. The password that is specified for the server computer in your ~/.netrc file or in the USER clause of a CONNECT statement is incorrect. The database server does not accept (or cannot find) your account password. Check that your password is specified correctly, and try again. This message appears with Version 6.0 and later. ----------- End explanation ----------------------------------- I'm sure user/password are correct. I get the same message when using dbaccess (on the host where the IDS-server is running) and fill in a the user'informix' and the password for the user 'informix'. But, I have know problem when I accept the current user, by pressing twice <ENTER>. What's wrong in our configuration? John Leerentveld<jl@ibt.nl>

I also had this problem but I think I've found the solution. MD5 passwords is on by default in Linux RedHat 6.0 and 6.1. Informix dosen't use the functions in shadow.h to retrieve the encoded password they use sscanf() to fetch the entries from /etc/shadow. I think that the buffer, supposed to contain the password, is to small since MD5 passwords is longer than regular pass- words. Disable MD5 passwords and change the informix users password. This worked fine for me. Please send me a note if this worked for you too.
