Fellow INGRES VARs: We are packaging an application with INGRES 6.3 on Pyramid Osx 5.1 and were wondering if there are elegant ways to create a single tape of both INGRES and the application; without driving our support people crazy during installation. I am advised that INGRES VAX/VMS VARS create a subdirectory under ingres and copy all their application code into this subdirectory before writing everything to a single tape. Anyone else with better alternatives and suggestions for Unix platforms?! Anyone using cpio?! Also, has anyone found an elegant way to prevent end-user access to all the enabled INGRES modules (QBF, VIFRED, RBF, RW) included with the Embedded INGRES!?! I am looking for a solution other than changing the file protection or removing the executables from ingres/bin. The VAR authorization string associated with Embedded INGRES does allow access to these modules which will create security problems for our application. Thanx very much for all the help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- H.
