Thank you Charles.

Well, I was sure not to write down this question in a fine english :-)

In my case, the AS400 is not the server, it is the client. It runs an 
FTP session to a FTP server thru a socks server (the socks server can 
only be configured with iSeries Navigator by right-clicking Properties 
on the TCP/IP configuration in the Network panel and filling the right 
informations in the SOCKS tab). The WRKSRVTBLE would help me if the 
AS400 have been FTP server which is not the case.

In the DSPLOG command you search for the message with an id of CPF0995.

Once you have these messages, you can just press F1 (Help) on the
message and in the second level text of this message you will be able
to identify the job that the ENDSBS command was issued from.

subject: RE: iSeries FTP security

Hi Joe

Thanks for your comments - a few responses inline.

>works before you open up your mission critical machines to it.
>Seriously, the ".." exploit is known to just about every script kiddie

I am fairly sure I understand how FTP works, although I will confess to not 
being particularly aware of the ".." exploit.
Of course, the issue is not about FTP specifically it is more about 
understanding what the path returned via
the FTP exit API represents and coding to avoid the ".." exploit. Going by 
some of the other posts I am in good company.

>Every time somebody posts something about how they "must" allow FTP
>access, or "must" allow ODBC access to their data, I cringe because I'm

If access via these methodologies is requested/demanded by the user 
community then it would be foolish
to deny them out of hand just because I didn't know how they work. 
Especially when some NT guy is more than
happy to claim he can provide the required service(s). The way I see it I 
can read the books available get some
assistance where necessary, subscribe to forums like this and learn how to 
manage these utilities.
Then I can run them on a machine I know I can secure.

The alternative would be to never learn anything and never do anything and 
watch the iSeries replaced at an even
more rapid rate by Windows boxes that are not really up to the task of 
running an enterprise.

>too much work.

I agree in principle but experience tells me:

1. People with an existing profile will balk at having a second user profile
2. People will balk at waiting for a copy to be made of data they know is 
already there and waiting

The real solution to this problem is to go back and fix the access to data 
properly, particularly on those systems where it
has been bastardized by a vendor package with badly though out access 
methodologies and end user rights, especially
packages or home grown apps that confer *ALLOBJ on all end users to make it 
easy to manage. If I had *PUBLIC *READ
or *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE on all my data libraries this wouldn't be the problem 
it is, but the number of packages and homegrown
applications that have started out requiring *ALLOBJ or something equally 
ill conceived means I simply have to try and secure
around it.

Another answer is to get a security tool to help get around this or even to 
write an exit program if the funds to purchase
are not forthcoming. But now we might be right back where we started.

I am not particularly bothered who I learned it from, the point for me is 
that now I do know. I do know that I am never going to have
the luxury of knowing every detail of every utility I am asked to 
implement, but I do know I will make every effort to find out what I
need to know and keep on questioning what I do know in case things have 
changed or I have missed something. I'm old enough
now to know that the only certainty is there is always something to learn. 
I'm not too proud to learn it wherever I can.

How would this help with access to my inventory table, or would you propose 
that I keep a copy in CSV format, or even better that
I make people wait while I generate only the data they want and then wait 
again while they extract the data from the safe area ?

Perhaps I should just go tell the NT guy to fire up his SQL Server and make 
copies of the iSeries data so it will be "accessible" to the
end users instead of having to deal with the legacy iSeies.

subject: RE: Who ended the subsystem?


The message in the QHST shows

"Subsystem QMSP ending in progress"

When I take F1 on that message, it just shows me no details about the
user profile.
I was able to identify the job, but the user of the job is QSYS, which
is not what I expected. Some user has ended it. Who is that is my
question?

Jim, here's a copy of my SSl config.  It's set up as a virtual host and

will give you the port numbers.  

However, I am a bit confused about your setup.  Your socks server is running
on the iSeries?  Then its port number should show in the WRKSRVTBLE and
could be changed. No?
