Keith,

Are you using /etc/hosts or DNS?

Exactly what does your online log say for the 956 error? The reason that I ask is that one time we had .rhosts to trust a machine named for example, "atlas" and the error coming through in the online log was something to the effect of " err = -956: oserr = 0: errstr = jadams@atlas.xxx.xxx.com: Client host or user jadams@atlas.xxx.xxx.com is not trusted by the server.

The entry in the rhosts was for atlas, not the fully qualified name.... which was being caused by an incorrectly configured /etc/netsvc.conf file. Since we use the /etc/hosts, the netsvc.conf file needs to have this stanza:

hosts = local,bind

So if you are using the /etc/hosts for resolution, make sure that your machine is still in /etc/hosts and that the stanza is there and you will have to bounce the engine to get the change to take effect, as that file is read in when the engine starts up.

I looked into the rhosts files and the SA said that it made no sense
that those files would be the culprit because they haven't been changed
for months.

Did he have .rhosts file in his home directory and are the permission
and
ownership correct?

I have a user that is querying tables from a database from server B
while logged onto server A. He previously had no problems with this,
but now he is getting a not trusted error (956).

Server A is running IDS 7.30.UC11 on Solaris 10.

Server B is running IDS 10.00.UC6 on Solaris 10.

I contacted the SA and he said that nothing has changed on the Solaris
side. There haven't been any changes on the Informix side and he has
the correct permissions assigned on the database. We aren't using the
/etc/hosts.equiv file. There doesn't seem to be a .netrc file in the
user's home directory. Does anyone have any idea how this could work
last week and then suddenly not work?
