I am thinking that you may have dropped it into the wrong place using a text editor... but then again... it does not quite sound like it. <Hmmm> The default location for the system ini is /usr/local/lib/etc/odbc.ini or something like that. Using ODBCConfig (or odbcinst) is a good way to ensure that you modify the correct ini file.
