I'm trying to setup an Informix SE server on Fedora Core 1.
I already succeded with RedHat 9.0.
On Fedora I'm experiencing follwing problem.
Informix requires to have a daemon listening on a network services (sqlexecd).
So I've set it up on service 2000/tcp.
The name of my host is PIKI.
My host file looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
192.9.202.118 piki
When a client (local or remote) tries to call the server, by sending a call to piki:2000, sqlexecd seems to be completely insensitive. The log file does not show anything.
But ... if I modify the host file like this:
127.0.0.1 piki localhost loopback
then sqlexecd intercepts the call and everything is working.
Obviously calls coming from other hosts do not succeed. The seem not even come to sqlexecd.
My security setup is Low. (no firewall).
any idea ?
thanks!
