RE: Problem while remote database connection (ERR 956)

Tsutomu , Thanks for your reply. We had tried out adding '+' in hosts.equiv but it didn't solve the problem. Both the source and the destination server are on HP UX 11.00. Both the servers are trusted and "passwd aging" is disabled. We tried converting the destination server to non-trusted mode but still the problem persists. Sqlhost of target server contains : ifx731_srv olsoctcp GARFIELD sqlexec3 where sqlexec3 is mapped to 1528 in /etc/services sqlhost on source server contains: ifx731_srv olsoctcp GARFIELD 1528 Thanks, Srini. -----Original Message----- From: Tsutomu Ogiwara [mailto:tsutomu_ogiwara@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 12:49 PM To: Srinivas Sreekumar; informix-list@iiug.org Subject: RE: Problem while remote database connection (ERR 956) Hi Srinivas. Try the following. Add + to /etc/hosts.equiv. ie.) cat /etc/hosts.equiv + Same error ? Sounds like your information is not enough. Post both(server and client) of sqlhosts. And what OS are you using on client ? Someone is helping you. -- Tsutomu Ogiwara from Tokyo Japan.
