952-Error on Dynamic Server 7.30.U

Hallo, I have connect-problems with Dynamic Server 7.30.U on linux 2.0.36. When I am on the local machine as user informix and start dbaccess, query-language, then select sysmaster-database, I am connected. However, when I try to connect - in the same dbaccess - again, I type in USER NAME > informix PASSWORD > "the correct UNIX-Password" , I get a 952: User's password is not correct for the database server. Also, connecting from an NT-Client with SQL-Editor 952 doesn't succeed when in the /etc/hosts.equiv on the server the line + is deleted. (When this line is in, I can connect - even with empty DB). However, connecting via JDBC from the same NT-Machine yields 952 everytime. Every hint will be appreciated. Thank U very much for every response, Matthias Rogel rogel@cms.tecmath.com -- ________________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Mathematiker Matthias Rogel t e c m a t h A G Senior Software Engineer Content Management Systems Division phone +49 (0)6301 606-230 Sauerwiesen 2, 67661 Kaiserslautern, Germany fax +49 (0)6301 606-209 http://www.tecmath.com ________________________________________________________________________

Can you connect WITHOUT a username and password (ie with .rhosts set up on the server)? If so you are likely using shadow passwording or PAM on the Linux server and the version of IDS you have is not compatible. Someone posted a workaround to enable use of shadow passwords about three weeks ago, but you still cannot use PAM unless you upgrade to 9.21. Either back down to shadow passwords and implement the workaround or back all the way to /etc/passwd. Art S.

Or, you need to make sure that that PAM isn't using MD5 passwords in /etc/shadow. Does the Solaris port of Informix grokk PAM? -- Forte International, P.O.
