Your host name changed.  It now includes the domain name on the end.
All the Ingres net security files down in $II_SYSTEM/ingres/file/...
have the wrong name.

Rename these so they have the domain on the end and everything *might*
work.

Cheers,

Where your installation uses Ingres net, it is a facility where
you can set authorisation for a workstation to connect to
a server, irrespective of the user logged onto the workstation.

In netu on the server set the installation password by using *
as the user.

Then on each workstation set the authorisation for each * user
to the installation password.

The installation password can be set up for each server. You 
cant, however, have both installation and specific passwords
pointing to the same installation.

Before going ahead setting up Ingres Net with installation passwords there
are several considerations one needs to make depending on company policy,
how Ingres Net is used, etc... 

I personally like using installation passwords but recommend that any
administrator should read section 2.17 of the "IngresII Ingres/Net User
Guide" which is available as a pdf from CA's web site. The arguments are
relevant to Ingres 6.4 as well.
