We use the RACF BPX.DEFAULT.USER profile in the FACILITY class so that ftp users don't need a UNIX segment. I don't know if this would work properly for my process. And, yes, I would like to "go UNIX" and may anyway. It's not as if I'm really going to be allowed to develop this monster. There is no company need for such as we are a Windows shop on the desktop. And "I don't do Windows". My client code will be developed on Linux/Intel. It __might__ run on other UNIX systems (I'll try to not do Linux specific coding). This might allow it to run on Windows with Cygwin. And I'll try to get it to work on MacOSX (which I have at home). -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
