Re: oninit -i: passwd problem and error in bui....

In Response To: Re: oninit -i: passwd problem and error in bui.... (FRANK)

The messages about user 'informix' were in the log long after the oninit statup.
Looks like someone (you?) tried to connect to the instance as 'informix' but
there was no valid password entry in /etc/passwd. That's what error code -951
indicates (see 'finderr -951').

Art,

Thanks for the reply!

What do you mean about ?

-- Looks like you forgot to create a loginable account for user 'informix'
from otto in group 'informix' on the new server machine or otto is not a
trusted host there.

The account " informix' was created. you mean it needs login passwd for
me to run the command oninit -i ?

There should be no "trusted host" problem because the command was issued
in the same host.

Thanks,
Frank
