check with

xuser list

if there are any "shortcuts" for the users created.

Try the following command:

xuser -U DEFAULT -u sapn4s,sap -d N4S -n n4shost set

Then try to execute

R3trans -d

The password for the user sapn4s seems to be wrong... Long ago, that I installed the preview, did you give a password during the installation?

The only password that i give during the installation was the password for the unix users. But nothing for the DB

If you managed the installation can you please give an detailed incstruction, for I also wanna try with unbuntu feisty cause I hate SuSE and SuSE hates my laptop

Dear Pierre,

grep for 'xuser' in the install.sh, and execute the steps again:

cd /media/dvd
grep xuser install.sh
ERR_create_xuser_failed=9
        su -c "/sapdb/programs/bin/xuser -U DEFAULT -u sapn4s,sapn4sadm -d N4S -n n4shost -S SAPR3 -t 0 -I 0 set" -l n4sadm >/dev/null 2>&1
        su -c "/sapdb/programs/bin/xuser -U c -u control,sapn4sadm -d N4S -n n4shost -S SAPR3 -t 0 -I 0 set" -l n4sadm >/dev/null 2>&1
        su -c "/sapdb/programs/bin/xuser -U c_J2EE -u control,sapn4sadm -d N4S -n n4shost -S SAPR3 -t 0 -I 0 set" -l n4sadm >/dev/null 2>&1
        su -c "/sapdb/programs/bin/xuser -U w -u superdba,sapn4sadm -d N4S -n n4shost -S SAPR3 -t 0 -I 0 set" -l n4sadm >/dev/null 2>&1

Just execute the last four commands manually as user root. You may want to remove the '>/dev/null 2>&1' setting so see what is going one there.

Do you have the compat-libstdc++ package installed? You may need the libstdc++.so.5 for MaxDB to work properly ...

Thanks,

Hannes
