Re: DB2EUG: URGENT -- unexpected system error --help

Hi Miguel, Specifying the user and password doesn't indicate wether you want to connect to a remote or local database. If your remote database is within the same domain and the current user is authorized one way or another it's not necessary to specify a user/pwd. Also, if you are logged in with an unauthorized user you can specify a 'valid' user/pwd to connect to a local database.   I didn't see a post from the original poster (maybe I missed it?) specifying which OS he is connecting to which could be important to know. On AIX it could be a known AIX-related bug, on NT it's also possible that the authentication service didn't start which could also be caused be some network-related problems etc..   We will have to wait and see what comes up :)   Kind regards, Gert   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 2:28 AM Subject: Re: DB2EUG: URGENT -- unexpected system error --help When you issue the "db2 connect to dbname" you are issuing a connection to a LOCAL database, however the "db2 connect to dbname user user_id using passw_id" you are trying to connect to a REMOTE database.
