In Response To: Error initializing the engine (KEVIN STRUCKHOFF)

Verify that the host and service are correct in the sqlhosts file and that the
service is registered in /etc/services. Also, though the 'service' for onipcshm
connections is a dummy it must not be the same as some network connection uses.
Best not to use a real servicename at all. Last make sure that the host is all
lower case and that it is the host's primary name and not an alias, some
versions of IDS and the connectivity tools have had trouble using hostname
aliases and 9.20 is an old version.
