Changing user password upsets informix

Hi



We have a cluster which is running AIX 5.2 ML9 and Informix V9.40.UC3. If
the steprd (an Informix user) AIX password is changed Informix starts
generating errors:



11:01:01 listener-thread: err = -951: oserr = 0: errstr = steprd: Incorrect
password or user steprd is not known on the database server.



It has been to IBM who found a memory leak and provided a patch which fixed
that but this is still a problem. The only way around it seems to be to
boot the box after which everything works again. The steprd account is set
to not expire as this had caused issues in some other installations
elsewhere. I have also found many reference to listener-thread errors on
Informix but very few related to the -951 error.



If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful



Thanks

Regards,

Suzanne Davies
