It appears that when I log in with FTP, "ps" at the z/OS server side shows me:
user@OS/390.25.00: psgrep .
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
User 33554564 33 - 17:00:56 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/ftpdns
2139809264
I hope that for security this PID runs under an isolated ASCB. I haven't the
skill
to suss out more.

Do you see this on the client side or on the server side?
