exit could be used to prevent either - permission to submit a job SAF and/or a FTP exit could limit this - job would need permission to listen on a port - user could be prevented from running a shell default program in OMVS segment Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com

Re: Rather interesting article on hacking the mainframe using ftp

2013-05-21 Thread Kirk Wolf
I don't consider the article useless. The take away should be: if you don't lock down your FTP(only) users so that they can't submit jobs then they might do things that you didn't expect. Also, you should secure your system so that arbitrary jobs cannot bind to TCP ports.

Getting DD DISP

2013-05-29 Thread Kirk Wolf
Is there an easy way for a program to get the DISP (NEW/MOD/SHR/OLD) of a DD from the TIOT, or do you have to do a RDJFCB? Thanks, Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff

Re: Getting DD DISP

LOL. I guess I'm lazy - I already had some code that scanned the TIOT to see if a given DD existed, and I wanted to extend to return the DISP. I was *SURE* that the IEFTIOT1/TIOENTRY would have those flags . Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 5:29
