The Question is: I have three similar Alpha systems on a network and only two of them will accept FTP requests. I have not been able to identify a significant difference on the system that refuses a connection. This system accepts telnet connections and is able to act a s an FTP client to other systems. The above error messages show on the operator's terminal when a user attempts a connection. UCX$FTPD exits almost immediately after starting. The auxiliary server shows a priviledge error. Why would UCX$FTPD exit and how do I identify the resource that is causing the priviledge error? The Answer is : This configuration of TCP/IP Services on this OpenVMS Alpha version is not supported and not recommended, please move to TCP/IP Services V5.1 with ECO, and to OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2, to V7.2-2, or later. There have been numerous enhancements and updates made to TCP/IP Services (and to OpenVMS) since this configuration was released. Certain errors similar to this have been seen when (very old, and quite corrupt) ucx$configuration.dat and/or ucx$service.dat files are (re)used with TCP/IP Services V4.1. The typical approach used to recover from this is to upgrade to a more current product version, or to delete these two files and to re-run UCX$CONFIG (which will then recreate the files). Additionally, security settings on various files can trigger privilege errors such as shown here -- OpenVMS system security auditing can often be used to locate the cause of these file access errors.
