password invalid

[Bob Stearns]

I am still getting "Password Invalid" with all new users I define on my
linux box. I have tried all the suggestions made here and they made
exactly no difference. I have server authorization set. I do have
connect authority for the new user. I have all the same groups for the
new user as the one that works. I have tried simpler passwords as well
as the password of a working account. I can login to the server with SSH
using the password I assigned. It fails from the Client and Server
command lines with sql state 08001.

I am at my wits end. What little hair I had is now pulled out. Where do
I go from here? I tried a sniffer race, but the traffic I'm interested
in is encrypted.

Any help, suggestions, rtfm pointers, etc. will be gratefully accepted.

If you log in to the server, can you do:

connect to <db> user <x>

You may want to try running db2iupdt on the instance, just in case some
of the permissions on the files in sqllib have been hosed.
Thanks,
