Hi folks

OS: Linux
Progress version: 9.1 D Workgroup

I'm trying to connect to a database using the following:
pro dbname - Which is supposed to connect and display the procedure. However it hangs indefinately

I am able to connect to the database by using pro only and then connecting to the database.
However when I want to check the user list, the whole procedure hangs.

I have re-created another db. Performed a backup of the current db and restored into newdb. The problem still persists on the new db.

Could this be a user permissions problem on the db itself?

If someone could explain to me the underlying process which happens when you issue a pro dbname. What checks/ processes are being done in the background. :confused:
 
There is a lot of stuff that depends on proper permissions. That's why the exectuables are usually installed setuid to root. Have the permissions on the executables perhaps been changed?
 
PROTERMCAP and systems files have not been tampered with. I have databases on the machine which works perfect.

I started a broker for this problem DB and issued a mpro dbname. No luck.

I performed a mpro which brings up the procedure editor.
I connect to the DB via the Data Dictionary.

Up until this stage I do not have a problem. I can view reports, make changes etc.

The moment I want to view a User report the session hangs, The same applies to the:
Admin, security and any option which I may want to select.

TIA
