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.
