Jake, I do not use FTCHKPWD, but I use FTCHKCMD to control user access (and lots of other things). I preferred FTCHKCMD, because I found I could accomplish everything that FTCHKPWD allowed me to do and more, and it shares a scratchpad with FTPOSTPR.
The server exits are pretty easy to install and test. You can use a STEPLIB in your FTP server proc and put the exits in there. Changes are picked up right away, since the FTP server spawns a new address space for each session. Just assemble and link your exit to the STEPLIB library and connect to the server. The exits need to be in an APF authorized library, and must be program-controlled, like this: RDEF PROGRAM FTCHKCMD ADDMEM ('LOAD.LIBRARY.NAME'/volser /NOPADCHK) UACC(READ) SETR WHEN(PROGRAM) REFRESH Failure to do this will result in messages like this to the console: ICH420I PROGRAM FTCHKCMD FROM LIBRARY LOAD.LIBRARY.NAME CAUSED THE ENVIRONMENT TO BECOME UNCONTROLLED BPXP014I ENVIRONMENT MUST BE CONTROLLED FOR DAEMON (BPX.DAEMON) PROCESSING. You can make SAF (RACROUTE) calls from the exits. The number of parameters passed to the exits can change from release to release, so be sure to check the second parameter, which tells you how many parameters are passed. Hope this helps.
