Jim, I'ts likely RPIVAL and RPIUCMS ... they are not really needed any longer, the authentication is done differently under z/VM 5.4. There were updates to the VM:Secure versions of these to support backward compatability that you likely do not have in place ... so accessing the older code is likely the cause of the problem. However, as you see, getting rid of them also works. JR Imler

I've discovered the source of one of them. We run some daily procedures involving ftp processes from our VMRMAINT(VMSECURE's Maint machine). All FTP processes were failing until we released the VMRAINT 194 minidisk. We were not having this problem before the upgrade to Z/VM 5.4. Perhaps the next step is to locate what is on the VMRMAINT 194 that causes FTP to blow off. Merry Christmas. ____________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "It is fun to do the impossible."
