****************************************************************
USERS AFFECTED:
All Mac OS X users
****************************************************************
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When installing the IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 11.50
bundle on a new Mac OS X system, the installer attempts to
create the informix user and group without creating the home
directory and without specifying a valid shell. If users later
attempt to log into the system as the informix user, they may
encounter an error message.
****************************************************************
RECOMMENDATION:
Upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC2.
**************************************************************** |
| Local Fix: |
1. Create the informix user's home directory
2. Fix the user shell problem by running
dscl . -create /Users/informix UserShell /bin/bash |
| Solution |
Beginning with IDS version 11.50.xC2, when the installer
creates the informix user, the home directory will be properly
created and the shell defined.?All of the users will be able to
log in as the user informix. |
