TCP documents the TCP /etc files you might want to change (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=files-tcpip-configuration-data-sets) which is why I mentioned it specifically. This is by no means the only product to use /etc. You're in the Unix world and you need to follow their rules. Simply copying new /etc files is not correct either. In the real world, /etc changes must be merged, meaning you run diff against the files to find the lines that have changed in each file and propagate the changes. Remember that the new default file may have required changes that must be integrated with your changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
