I've updated the ssh to 4.5p1 on my AIX 5.3. but this error pop up. I've done some research on this problem, sounds like I have to put on a fix on it. Does anyone know which fix need to be applied? or is there any other way to walk around from it? heaps of tnxxxxxx

Try moving to a more up-to-date TL.

Hi -

have you contacted IBM Support? This looks more like an AIX issue vs. a configuration issue to me..

Verify that the "ibmsdb" user is setup properly. Try "usrck -n ibmsdb" and "pwdck -n ibmsdb".
