DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

If the unix machine where the Rich text feature is installed 
uses a third party authentication method at the operating system 
level, the richtextTool.sh script may fail when trying to enable 
or disable the feature. The script relies on information in the 
/etc/passwd file to resolve the instance owner's home directory 
and if the authentication method does not use (or update) the 
local /etc/passwd file the script may fail with the following 
error: 
 
CIE00424E The DB2 Text Search configuration directory named "%1" 
for  the DB2 instance named "%2" does not exist.
