Thanks Peter. My suspicion is that it has something to do with one of -AUTOUID/AUTOGID being activated -BPX.SHARED getting defined -UNIXPRIV being activated (otherwise AUTOUID wouldn't work, with me having alter to SUPERUSER.** and the rest of the world just read to SUPERUSER.FILESYS). All of this was active in the 1.10 system, too (with the exception of the superuser.** definitions in UNIXPRIV). ftp behaved differently on 1.10 than it does on 1.13. One glaring difference is that in the 1.10 system I got RACF errors when I hadn't made myself superuser and started trawling the filesystems via ishell. This doesn't happen on the 1.13 system. Both were telling me my EUID is 5002 or something when I first access the ishell. In January I'll get another ADCD system with the accompanying RACF database. I plan to test ftp after every cleanup job to see what breaks it. In hopes that that will get me a better understanding. :-( In any case, Merry Christmas to everyone!
