Not money (I know you're kidding). Possibly it is because of user's home directories. If your systems are not in a sysplex, there is no way to share them. If you are in a sysplex, perhaps your sysprogs don't want to bother setting up the facility to share them. In either case, a normal user would like complain like a graft-less politician about not being able to share. > Well, I have a few things to work with now, and next week I expect the > firewall thing to be resolved, so I may just stay with FTPS (TLS) since that > satisfies the security people. > > Cheers -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
