Re: -952 Authentication Error on Solaris 10

Superboer,

I was thinking along the lines of a firewall issue.

Assuming that the production box and the development box are similar
machines in terms of OS and set up, if one box works and one box
fails, then it could be a configuration issue. That could mean
firewall, IDS setup, or user admin setup. If they're using some form
of single sign-on that's on both machines (yp?), then it makes a tcp/
ip filter issue more likely. However, the weird thing is that in
order to get a -952 issue, its a server generated issue. So maybe its
a configuration issue in ODBC? Like the password isn't coming across
ok or that the user doesn't have connect privileges with the specified
db? (And that could be it.)

So what's different between the two boxes?

Hello Nate,

what happens if you do the same using dbaccess

eq ssh to the machine
start dbaccess choose the connect option choose your network
informixserver
supply user and  passwd

could be an os issue??? sorry just guessing

Hello Ian,

because i have had dozens of problems like the above where someone got
rid of root or suid.

why don't you test this on your testbox, you will see.
it could very well be -951 what is returned.....

Superboer,

If that were true, then how could he log in using same password and id when physically on the box?
(Assuming that he is using the same user id and password.)

With respect to the install, if he did the same process in production as in development, then his 'sticky bits' would have been set.

Of course one question comes to mind. If he's on the same machine, is he connecting via TCP/IP sockets or shared memory?
If he's not using TCP/IP for the connection, then I wonder if there's a firewall or something blocking the connection and he's timing out?

Hello Nate,

maybe oninit does not have suid bits set or is not owned by root??
eq

-rwsr-sr-- 1 root informix

No idea what the problem is but IDS 9.40 will not be supported by IBM
after next month

Do you have plans to upgrade to IDS 11?
