I have included the etc/profile. I do have some UNIX skills, entirely self-taught. I have installed UNIX and Informix DBMS on a "play" server. I'm having trouble exporting a database from my production machine to the play machine. I wanted to start the process from scratch using my informix signon on the production machine. That's the reason for trying to get the informix logon to work. The system was setup long before I got this job.
I do know vi and how to edit files - I just don't understand how to use set to generate a log showing the results of a logon attempt.
Here's the etc/profile.

In a small town like Nacogdoches,TX there aren't too many UNIX professionals - that's why I depend so much on forums such as this.
