Thanks Ann for the reply, can you give me an example of how to
supply both linux username/pwd and database username/pwd. I couldn't
find a place to specify linux username/pwd values in IBExpert database
registration info. Also was unsuccessful with using isql on w2k to
connect to database on linux.
Thank you.

lost.
