ODBC giving 952 error

[Paul Gratton]

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to my informix server using ODBC and keep getting a
952 error listed bellow:

listener-thread: err = -952: oserr = 0: errstr = : User's password is not
correct for the database server.
My client is a windows 2000 station and the server is a Linux box running
IDS 7.30. The username and passwords provided have been checked and are
valid users on the linux server (in fact, even the informix user/password
combination doesn't even work). The hosts.equiv file has been created with
an entry for my client station. Everything looks good however I still can't
get a connection with ODBC. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Paul Gratton

Hi,

I tried to dbexport a database in IDS 2000 9.21 UC1 for Solaris 2.6.
When the export reaches a certain 7million row table, the session keeps on
grabbing memory from the virtual portion until the server runs out of
memory.

Also, even if I leave the DS_MAX_QUERIES blank, once the engine starts up,
it shows a value of 4.
BTW, MAX_PDQPRIORITY is set to 100.

Platform

SUN E250 server
Solaris 2.6

Any suggestions..

Thanks,
Ian

Hi Paul,

this is a well known phenomenon with some InformixOnLinux installations if
shadow passwords are used on the linux box. There is a utility 'pwunconv'
which can convert your passwd file back to an unshadowed one. You can use
it to check if shadow passwords matter in your case, too. If yes, you either may
run without shadow passwords or look for solutions in former postings to this
newsgroup if shadowing is indispensible.
