Re: getting IDS 2000 running on RH 6.2

no. Here's my sqlhosts file, in /opt/informix/sqlhhosts (according to docs, no need to set env. vars) #************************************************************************** # # INFORMIX SOFTWARE, INC. # # PROPRIETARY DATA # # THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS TRADE SECRET DATA WHICH IS THE PROPERTY OF # INFORMIX SOFTWARE, INC.
