I totally agree about the documentation being "lacking". I had an ftp issue today. I started in the "Communications Server" bookshelf for the FTP server information. It told me to use the DEBUG ACC in the FTPDATA, and recycle the FTP server. I was to then go to the UNIX bookshelf for the definations of the error codes, which are in the UNIX SYSLOG (luckily I have the UNIX SYSLOG daemon going!). The UNIX bookshelf told me go to look at the codes in the C/C++ runtime manual for the "__passwd()" function. The problem: the user trying to do the ftp did not have an OMVS segment in RACF. So it used the BPX.DEFAULT.USER profile in the FACILITY class in RACF. The "default UNIX" userid was revoked! -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
