Hi Dave Could someone please answer this for me: How can you pull data from a U2 file, via UniObjects, manipulate it in VB.NET, and write it back to the file, via UniObjects, via stored procedures, and without directly accessing the files from UniObjects? I'm just looking for basic general

I have the opposite. My UniObjects connections don't work, but the very same user/password data will let me into a telnet session. This all seemed to coincide with my screwing about with pam.conf so I suspect in my case it's self inflicted. Until I get a chance to sort it out, I'm using another

Have a look at your pam.config file. I'll bet that UniObjects is not using the same mechanism to connect as a telnet connection does. That could mean the OS is not locking down all means of connection when a login goes rogue. I'm more certain now that this is an issue of OS and documentation

Back before starting to use UniObjects, I remember reading something about UniObjects not logging in like a normal user would log in. I didn't realize that it meant UniObjecs was 'above the law' in terms of logins. That's a potentially scary issue! Sounds like people are beginning to grasp the

Well, Mr. Phillips, I can't disagree with you. The scenario you describe is a classic concrete tunnel into the system not a hole at all! I'm just hoping that since I've managed to achieve the opposite (via blind stupidity and bad luck) that perhaps this is all due to inadequate documentation of

Hi Martin The only way that I can see to close this hole is for UniObjects to have an option to restrict which operations the client end can request. At the highest level, this should restrict the client so that all he can do is call existing catalogued programs that are compiled with some
