Natarajan is correct. We do not want to 'accidentally' ftp to other servers from this cloned system. Securing via ACF2 would be a harder solution to implement since the ACF2 database also gets cloned. Yes, any programmer can find our backdoor, but if they are smart enough to find it, they are probably smart enough to realize the consequences. There aren't any production processes that use IND$FILE so programmers are allowed to use this program.
Regarding Mark's comment to copy FTP as Z062016 is possible but then we forget to rebuild it when we install maintenance or a new release (this is what happened in the past and it caused us grief). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
