Hi All

Thanks for the replies

Good news !

Following James's comment on STDLIST and OUTCLASS

I have tried changing the jftpstrt file to

run ftpmon;stdlist=$NULL

This appears to work !

Any suggestions what to do with MPE 6 which uses inetd to start ftp ?

It would also appear my estimate of the number of ftp sessions per day was
way low.

There is one every 5 minutes plus one for every transaction sent to a HTTP
server.  This was 800 lines in about 6 hours.

Some of the machines are a bit low on disc space !
