Re: Secure connection error, return code 6000 (FTP)

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are some IBM ideas out there for this.  IBM tends to fluctuate
between hot and cold on this.

Argument 1 from IBM:  Accepting a new cert should be a conscious decision:
Reply:  I want to submit a job to accept new certs and perhaps apply it to
the ones being replaced by an existing cert.  Me scheduling that job is my
conscious decision.

Then there's some wavering between should vendors supplying a solution or
IBM.  I hate the vendor idea as I'm sick of waiting on said vendors taking
a year to support new versions of the OS.

Some people are trying to opensource this.
