Hello Friends,

Re: FTP under JINETD & 6.0 issues

----------------------------------------------Paul Christidis writes--
Fellow Listers, We are planning of upgrading to 6.0, in the next few
weeks and, at this point, I have a couple of questions.   Under the
'old' FTP setup, some additional measure of security was being invoked
by requiring that the MPE user that a 'client' would use to connect to
the 3K had an MPE password.  This was done by changing the jobstream
provided by HP and invoke the 'ftpmon' executable as follows:
  !run ftpmon;info="password"
Is there a similar 'feature' for in the 'new' FTP setup?

Regards, Paul Christidis

I have checked the code and verified this feature has gone away in the
implementation of FTP under INETD.

I would recommend you contact the RC and request a SR be submitted
asking that this functionality be re-implemented... My guess is we will
need to add a "PASSWORD" command/option to the SETPARMS.ARPA.SYS file.


P.S. Sorry I was quiet for so long.  I have just returned from three
weeks off from HP to be Mr. Pumpkin at my Church.  We had a great year
in pumpkin sales,  2,300 pumpkins (a full semi-truck full) found their
way to happy/haunted homes.
