INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10

The IDS documentations states: 
"When you change the value for a particular 
cache with the onmode -wf or onmode -wm command, the server 
immediately 
expires all existing entries in that cache." 
 
However changing the value for NS_CACHE does not do this for 
12.10.FC4W1WE. 
After changing the user cache from 900 to 0 and back to 900 the 
old password is still in the 
cache. This can be reproduced with the following steps: 
Setting for NS_CACHE in oncifg is 
NS_CACHE=host=900,service=900,user=900,group=900 
 
1. useradd testpwd 
2. echo "testx" | passwd --stdin testpwd 
3. log in using the new account with password 'testx' (dbaccess) 
4. onmode -wm NS_CACHE=host=900,service=900,user=0,group=900 
 
5. echo "newpwd" | passwd --stdin testpwd 
6. log in using the new account with password 'newpwd' 
(dbaccess)   (good) 
7. onmode -wm NS_CACHE=host=900,service=900,user=900,group=900 
11/04/14 11:41:56  Value of NS_CACHE has been changed to 
host=900,service=900,user=900,group=900. 
  7.1  --> login with "newpwd" :  951: Incorrect password or 
user 
 
  7.2  --> login with "testx" : successful 
11/04/14 11:42:34  Password Validation for user [testpwd] 
failed! 
11/04/14 11:42:34  Check for password aging/account lock-out. 
11/04/14 11:42:34  listener-thread: err = -952: oserr = 0: 
errstr = testpwd@greenwood: User (testpwd@greenwood)'s password 
is not correct for the database server.
