 No. As I explained before, the IDS server's binary needs to have the
 correct file owner ship (user root group informix) and the correct
 file access rights (especially the s-bit). With the correct settings,
 IDS is able to get the necessary credentials from /etyc/shadow
 and can compare them (assuming that the encryption algorithm is
 plain UNIX style crypt() ).
 Regards,
 Martin
