Folks:
I've had this question asked of me by one of our developers. Since I'm not
too savvy on the development side of the OS, I thought I'd send it out to
see if anyone on the list could help. The UNIX platform that he is trying
to talk with is an AS8400 running DU 4.0D PK2 with C2 security.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
