We're trying to pick an RDBMS to do applications in a secure computer environment, so we need to find one that doesn't use setUID root. SetUID to some specific user is ok, but root is out. What's out there? The current versions of our application use Informix, but it appears to need root; are we mistaken, or will we have to can it and use something else? Has anybody taken it and turned off setUID? Thanks; Bill -- # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 4M312 Holmdel NJ 201-949-0705 api.att.com!wcs # We did it for the formlessness ...
