Thanks to Jordan Wiseman, Mike Keighley, Eef Hartman, Jeff Lightner, James
J. Perry and Richard Aranas for the replies.
I used "netstat -an" and "lsof -i :750" to see if the port was listening or
established. Despite the results confirmed no process was using the port,
Informix was unable to be brought up.
Commenting out the Kerberos in /etc/services will not help, as it is merely
there to associate a name with a port number. Those names may then be
referenced in /etc/inetd.conf.
The first email came from Jordan Wiseman gave me an idea. For some products,
the startup scripts need to be SUID and owned by root to bind to low ports
(below 1024). I found "oninit" (to start up Informix) was owned by informix,
when it and some other files were supposed to be owned by root. That was the
whole issue here.
Indeed, after DBA reinstalled Informix, the problem is solved.
Regards,
Edi

Subject: [HPADM] Network driver cannot bind a name to the port
Hi Admins,
OS: HP-UX 11.11
Informix: IBM IDS v9.40.
This may be off-topic, but I am hoping there are Informix admins out there
who can help me. Our Informix DBA is unable to bring up the DB.
>From "onstat -m", below is the error message:
14:53:56 listener-thread: err = -25572: oserr = 13: errstr = : Network
driver cannot bind a name to the port. System error = 13. 14:53:56
sql_listener: ASF_LISTEN failed
Checking /etc/services, we found 2 entries that seem conflicting:
kerberos 750/tcp kdc # Kerberos (server) tcp -kfall
informix_sv 750/tcp # Informix control
But even though I comment out the kerberos, Informix is still unable to
bring up. And if informix_sv uses different port (just for testing), we can
bring up Informix. The DBA insists to use port 750/tcp.
Has anybody encounter such problem?
Regards,
Edi
