Re: [Info-Ingres] Solaris/AIX/HPUX Scan for Ingres

Earlier versions of ingres required an ingres admin account with system
level admin priveleges.

I would want to look at the owner of running processes iigcc, iigcn, iidbms
etc, or the owner of the directories where ingres is running.

You probably realise it is possible to run several ingres installations on a
machine each from separate directories (ie with different $II_SYSTEM). With
the later versions of ingres you can run them as a non-administrator user
account. I think it was in version 2.6 that this restriction was lifted.

Would it be true to say that if Ingres is installed on a machine then
the user "ingres" MUST exist?

Hey I'm old school ( Ingres ver 5 in the 80's ). I find it comforting to
have a secured ingres account. I know where everything is!!!!

(however you had to make sure you weren't using the default ingres
account that many early Unixes had to run "University Ingres")
