2008-03-07 Thread Kris Buelens
With SFS' native security this is impossible, only the filespace owner and an SFS admin can create subdirectories. I guess an ESM may change that. In the past we had a PROP action routine that permitted users with write access to a dirid to create new subdirs (and the PROP user was SFS admin).

I am not an expert, but from what little I know, the lower ports (1024) were considered to be privileged. The convention was that if the originating port was 1024, then the remote end could __assume__ that the originator was authorized in some special way. And so, by convention, the lower ports

I'd buy that, except that it wasn't a protocol error; the problem was entirely inside z/VM and TCPIP, in that a parameter was missing in the PROFILE TCPIP, which isn't part of any of the standards. If I put my UDP message out on the wire and it gets lost, I'll accept that. But if my own interface

This is possible with SateSoftware's SAFESFS product. It saves a lot of time in setting up SFS authorizations, and is well worth the nominal cost. With SFS' native security this is impossible, only the filespace owner and an SFS admin can create subdirectories. I guess an ESM may change that.

My point exactly. FTPSERVE is listed as an authorized virtual machine in the PORTS list in the TCPIP PROFILE. This permits it to listen on a low port. The FTP client does not use a low source port, so is not subject to the restriction.
