Sure, I could. However then I've modified the IBM supplied command and that
causes all measure of trouble with customers that have highly regulated
environments, and ones that just won't allow it.

Subject: Re: ENDTCPSVR default of *ALL

You do know you can change the default, right?

command default is *ALL meaning ALL the TCP servers so, NFS, CIMOM, FTP,

but it also includes Telnet and a few others that are, well, important...



About once a year it happens, and it just did. Fortunately, it was
one of my own systems and I was the only one on the system but still,
it's a mistake that should not be made. I wish IBM would make the default
*NONE.
Maybe a request in the future but in the past, I've been told they
don't change defaults since that might mess things up for some folks.



More of a warning than anything else pointing out that even very
experienced system admins make mistakes and the systems need to be
built to protect itself.



Sounds more like the beginning of an *EXIT program than anything else.
