(Bob Peirce #305) comments on my posting:

[me] When I tried the situation above, setting the group to "informix" and the
[me] permissions to group rwx, it worked perfectly.  However, this then leads
[me] on to the possibility that _anyone_ could create a database in this
[me] directory  :-(  No, I've no quick'n'easy solution to that one!

[Bob] The grant command should take care of that.

Naa.  I said database - not table.  How can you use a GRANT command if you
don't even have a database yet?  It's a Un*x permissions problem this time  :-)
