Randy,

You are indeed correct (hey, when I goof, I admit it :-) - without a
security package in place which enforces a session password, FTP will
support a session name as shown below from Windows 95 FTP:

Microsoft(R) Memphis
   (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1997.

C:\WINDOWS>ftp idp950a
Connected to idp950a.idpnet.com.
220 HP ARPA FTP Server [A0007Z14] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1990
User (idp950a.idpnet.com:(none)): JGEISER,JOE.TECH
331 Password required for JGEISER,JOE.TECH.  Syntax: userpass,acctpass
Password:
230 User logged on
ftp>

...and the following on the 3000...

HOBBES: showjob job=joe.tech

JOBNUM  STATE IPRI JIN  JLIST    INTRODUCED  JOB NAME

#S71    EXEC        63  63       MON  3:46P  JGEISER,JOE.TECH
#S72    EXEC        64  64       MON  3:46P  JOE.TECH

2 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
    0 INTRO
    0 WAIT; INCL 0 DEFERRED
    2 EXEC; INCL 2 SESSIONS
    0 SUSP
JOBFENCE= 0; JLIMIT= 12; SLIMIT= 125

HOBBES:

...but when using a security package like SECURITY/3000 when session
names/passwords are enforced, there *will* be a problem.

Regards,
Joe
