Default Re: Incorrect password or user Admin is not known on the database


As the log files tells you, the user is trying userid Admin. Check if
this ID exists on ur unix box.

To get a list of IP's and stuff from where people login using telnet or
any other protocol, ask ur sysadmin on unix to log all activity. ( sysad
can restrict users via inetd.sec file )

Some of the commands which might help you -

last -R , lastb -R , netstat ( you can run these yourself ) -
check in informix log, the approx time when this person tries this and
before that time, start a script with netstat or later check with
lastb/last ( last commands will help u only in case of telnet - in other
cases - if u have tcp/ip connection set for informix, netstat might help ).

Hope this helps.
