I've just successfully set up a database with Informix SE for Linux. I'm running stock FreeBSD 2.2.6 with linux lib. The only change I had to make was to put in a symbolic link of master.passwd to shadow. I get an error when initially connecting with dbaccess but it doesnt seem to affect normal operations. Note tho. the linux port of SE doesnt support direct database connections, you have to set up the sqlexecd process and connect via tcp. The advent of Oracle and Informix supporting Linux moves the whole free Unix market onto a new level. We should be able to kick serious arse out there in the business community.
