Hi Everyone,

I was reading the thread on "Re: how to define 2 systems to each other via TCP/IP?" and wondered why no one mentioned QFileSvr.400. I hadn't used it myself, so I looked it up here "http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/ifs/rzaaxmstrfsfs.htm";. When I tried it between two of my systems, I found that I can't see everything.

On system A (model 170 at v5r2) the first page of WRKLNK '/' shows:

Object link            Type
bin                    DIR
dev                    DIR
etc                    DIR
home                   DIR
httpd.conf             STMF
lib                    DIR
tmp                    DIR
usr                    DIR
var                    DIR

On system B (model 150 at v4r4) the first page of WRKLNK '/QFileSvr.400/SystemA' shows

Object link            Type
bin                    DIR
httpd.conf             STMF
lib                    DIR

I compared the attributes and authorities of the "bin" and "home" directories on system A:

"bin" owner QSYS
             Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
*PUBLIC *RX QSYS *RWX X X X X

"home" owner QSECOFR
             Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X
QSECOFR     *RWX         X     X     X     X

*PUBLIC has more authority to "home" than to "bin", so the only other thing I can see that might prevent "home" from being visible from system B is the owner. But the "usr" directory is also owned by QSYS and also cannot be seen by system B.

What am I missing?
