Denis I'm glad you managed to get your e-mail "block" situation resolved.
Also an apology for my last post. I see I misunderstood Radoslaw's point 2. He thinks your programmer is reading the files directly when I assumed the files were being read through the agency of the gethostbyname() - or similar - call, in other words, the official API. It would appear the programmer *is* using the API. Removing the gethostbyname() call is not really a solution so much as a "bypass" to your problem - as implied by Pat O'Keefe. An application programmer should be entitled to use the gethostbyname() call without being tripped up by the SAF (e.g. RACF) product. I already asked in this thread whether or not it really was a general requirement that that "read" access be granted to the "resolver" files when a sockets program needed to use "resolver" calls. As it is said, the silence was deafening! I'm going to try a separate thread in the IBMTCP-L list in order to try to stimulate some interest in these mysteries. I checked the IP Configuration Guide using the keyword "SAF" but nothing appears to have been noted on the topic.
