RE: IFS security?

Basically you mount the NT share under the directory '/QNTC' on the 400.
Say your NT box is named FRED, and there is a directory on it that is
shared as FLINT. Then you would

MD '/QNTC/'FRED/FLINT'

to mount that share on the 400. It may already be there, through NETBIOS
broadcast. Then

CD '/QNTC/'FRED/FLINT'

changes your current directory to it.

You can CPYTOIMPF directly into that path. Issues I've seen relate to CCSID
between systems. The CCSID for NT in America is usually 1252. Reading a
share through IFS does not seem to return the CCSID - it's usually 0. But
when you push to the NT system, you have control of the CCSID.

QNTC is associated with NetServer & Windows 2000 Integration on IXA or IXS,
I think.

Just saw that the latest v5r1 PTF for QNTC is SI03758 - delayed apply

I found a redbook at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg242164.pdf - look at
chapter 13. I also looked up QNTC on google, site:ibm.com
