Check the owner and permission information for the executable db2chkpw under one of the subdirectories in sqllib. This should be owned by root and have sticky bit set.

Execute db2iupdt for the instance to reset the permissions.

Even if db2chkpw's ownership is right, I would recommend running a db2iupdt.

BTW, when connecting without userid and password, no authentication is done ... so no error about wrong user/ password
