The FTP Server starts a new process for each client connection. The z/OS UNIX parameter MAXPROCUSER limits the number of processes a user (userid) can have active simultaneously. This can be the limiting factor and might lead to the connection being refused (While I'm sure about the former point, I'm not sure how ftp will respond to such a limitation. Just never tried.)
MAXPROCUSER is systemwide and is specified in BPXPRMxx, there is also a corresponding OMVS segment field called PROCUSERMAX which can allow different values for different userids Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
