RE: ANZDFTPWD with *SIGNOFF

I have a lot to think about here. All our salesreps orders are transmitted
to a local PC and from there are FTP'ed to the i. REXEC is then used to
fire off the job that processes those orders.

Exit programs seem very appropriate here. I'm going to search the mags and
the web for some examples. Also more reading on safe, secure ways to do
this.

Thanks all.

You're assuming 5250 security is all the security you need - didn't you
pay attention last night? :-)
If you can use it with ftp so can anyone else. And they can also use it
with ODBC and more.

Try this. Sign on as someone with no special authority but command line
access or some other way to do
wrkobj qusrsys/*all *msgq
They now have a list of all your users on your system. Unless PAT the
operator also uses QSYSOPR message queue in it's user profile. Then they
can keep trying each user profile until they find one with a default
password.

All,

User profiles should not have a password matching the user profile name.
What about a user with INLMNU(*SIGNOFF)? Is that considered OK?

Here's my scenario.

I have a user id BLAHBLAH with matching password and initial menu
*SIGNOFF.
It's only purpose is to FTP files on a periodic basis from a single PC in
our office to the i, initiated from the PC. Am I better off not having
this
profile and allowing anonymous FTP?
