Re: Easiest way to extract GZIP or .GZ on IFS?

Patrik,

What you've said about the following is true. I've tried to get IBM to
stop that. As a minor "security by obscurity" measure informing the public
the OS of your FTP server and what version it is running is not
kosher/halal. And, in some cases, can violate your NDA. See also:
SELECT *
FROM QSYS2.MESSAGE_FILE_DATA
where MESSAGE_TEXT like '%TCP/IP version%';

I suppose this is where some people go chasing squirrels and saying that
the "public" having access to unsecured FTP is the real problem.

But then, even the FTP server in IBM i 7.3 reports back OS/400!

ftp> syst
215 OS/400 is the remote operating system. The TCP/IP version is "V7R3M0".
