    Make z/VM TCPIP FTP server RFC 3659 compliant

    We've recently implemented z/VM 7.1 after being away from z/VM for many, many years. During the setup and installation we tailored TCPIP and specifically the FTP server but discovered that it is not compatible with GUI FTP clients like the FileZil...

    Allow PAV alias addresses in subchannel sets other than 0

    PAVs must current be in subchannel set 0. We have a shortage of LCUs and would like to match the z/OS configurations.

    ICHPWX01 and IRRPWREX sample files for RACF on zVM

    We need sample ICHPWX01 and IRRPWREX sample files so that we can code the REXX exec to comply with our specific password security requirements.

    Request to enhance RACFVM Report Writer to be compatible with RACFVM z/VM 7.2 and later releases.

    Install pipe filter ftpget should support TLS

    The install pipe filter ftpget should support TLS because many (most?) sites now require TCP/IP communications to be secure and not done in plaintext. FTP servers in some sites are configured to reject non-TLS connections. The install procedure us...

    zVM support dynamic activation of non subchannel set 0 devices

    A VM LPAR supports one CSS but it can be 0,1,2,3 but only supports one SS via HCD - 0. Add support for additional SS

    Displaying configured cipher suites in configured order under SYSTEM DTCPARMS.

    Specifying a preferred order of cipher suites under SYSTEM DTCPARMS is not the exact order that is displayed from z/VM systems. The 'ssla q status details' command list an order that is not configured. Even presenting the cipher suites order to ne...

    z/VM TCPIP utilities (PING FTP TELNET TRACERTE) use the first address returned from a DNS server. This may be an IPV6 address - if the originating system is only IPV4 the result is "EDC8118I Network is unreachable". This can be bypassed by using the ADDRTYPE arg but we would prefer smarter DNS lookup. z/OS and zLinux handle this without using ADDRTYPE.

    See "Your idea".
