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

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

There is a file in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/IIFfiles which has the correct ownership and
perms for each file in the installation. However, the best thing to do is to
just perform a clean install using the original media.

Thanks, Art and Martin,

I believe it is the permission problem! our oninit is wrong,

-rwsr-sr-- 1 informix informix 20836476 Aug 10 16:52 oninit*

I will ask them redo it,

Frank
