To connect to a remote machine using the Linux client, you need to have authentication to the remote machines. This is accomplished by entering a specific username and password for the server using the pvnetpass utility. This utility stores the username and password in an encrypted format for that particular server in the Pervasive registry on the client machine. If you do not specify user names and passwords, your applications can receive status code 3119.

See pvnetpass in Pervasive PSQL User's Guide.

A client data source name (DSN) is required if applications on the client use the Pervasive PSQL relational interface through ODBC. To create a client DSN, you use the dsnadd utility included with the Pervasive PSQL Client for Linux. See dsnadd in Pervasive PSQL User's Guide and the man page for dsnadd located in /usr/local/psql/man/man1.
