I know what NFS does but I'm struggling to logon to it. You don't logon to it. You specify what filesystems you want to be visible to clients on the server side (called exporting the filesystems, controlled by /etc/exports or the equivalent on your OS), and on the client side, you use 'mount'

Hi Sipho, Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but assuming you want to run an NFS server under zOS and access the HFS filesystem from a Linux client running as a zVM guest, you will need the mvslogin RPM package so you can authenticate against RACF. In our shop we have be using this

Hi, please note that you cannot chroot users to a specific directory when using SFTP. It could be a security issue depending of the level of trust of your end users. Every user of the SFTP service could access to the whole system if not properly implemented. You can just give access to the

Please note that the vsftpd shipped with SLES9 SP3 does not support SSL/TLS encryption. This is only available from version 2.0 and newer, according to the vsftpd documentation. SLES9 SP3 comes with version 1.2.1 of the daemon. More information on building vsftpd could be found on these links
