Don't know too much about portmap but it seems like a candidate for SYSSTC. Have you encountered problems that make you reluctant to put it there. Check the link. IBM's sample policy has it defined there. http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/wlm/documents/sample/samplepol.html

I have __no__ idea how this relates to Libstation, HSC, et al. The only thing that I know of that uses this is NFS. Perhaps your "portmap" is not the standard "portmap"? The standard portmap simply keeps track of port names with their associated logical names. That way, a client can ask portmap: "What port should I connect to in order to access service bubba?". The bubba service, running on the z/OS system, would have previously sent a request to portmap on the order of: "Hey! This here is bubba, what port do you want me to listen on for work?". Portmap would then tell bubba what port to listen on. A client would ask portmap what port bubba was listening on and connect to that port in order to talk to bubba. Portmap sees very little use around here. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
