Hi,
you didn't say what is your environment but I
used to had the same problem on a db2 v5.2
on Aix ...
It was file corruption problem. The end of the
/etc/security/lastlog was full with strange characters
so that I couldn't edit it with "vi". Only a
"cat -n /etc/security/lastlog | tail -90 | more" let me see
that something was wrong at the end of this file.
So it cut the file just before the ligne error with a
head -n "number_of_last_good_line" >lastlog.tmp
and
cp laslog.tmp lastlog.
And everything was right after that :) ie i could use the
connect to "database" user "username" using "password" ...
Note : the file lastlog just counts login statistics to databases
from OS users ...
Hope this helps ...
Best Regards, JOss. =:op
