Problems on HP

Hello all, I have a strange problem and can't seem to figure it out. We have just received another HP9000 (used) and have added DSA 7.23 and the tools. Let's call this machine hp6. On another HP9000 we have the database server, also running DSA 7.23. Let's call this machine, hp1. We also have several other HP9000 boxes running as 4ge clients to hp1. Now the problem. I can access the database on hp1 as root but not as Informix or anyone else for that matter. I can perform a "rlogin" without submitting a password, so I'm fairly certain that my ".rhosts" files are OK. When I start dbaccess on hp6 and try to connect to any other machine, I always get "930: Cannot connect to database server (hp6)" The /etc/services and the $INFORMIXDIR/sqlhosts files are setup because I can access any other engine in any other box, but ONLY as root. I'm more than a little baffled because I can do a rlogin to the other boxes cleanly. Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated!
