RE: Help! Error -956: My system doesen't trust itself

If you connection is specified as type "net", then Informix is making a connection that can be viewed as if it were a "loopback". In this case, the answer is to create a ".rhosts" file in Informix's home directory. Place an entry in the file for each server that is to be trusted. When you ping the server, does it respond with the fully qualified name? I.e. ping -s myserver returns: myserver.mydomain.com. If so, use the fully qualified domain name in the .rhosts file. -d At 02:42 PM 9/26/97 -0400, Saxena, Madhu (Madhu)** CTR ** wrote: }Hi, } This is Carl Berner I have the same problem.
