**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Communications Server * * for z/OS Version 1 Release(s) 10 and 11 IP: * * FTP Client API with Kerberos * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The FTP client API is used to open a * * FTP kerberos session by adding * * -a GSSAPI to the open string passed in * * on the INIT call.

This is incorrect because the FTP client API reply() code had already stripped off the new line (x'15') at the end of the reply and inserted a null. +-------------------------------------------------------------+ + Please check our Communications Server for OS/390 homepages + + for common networking tips and fixes.
