I'm running the latest versions of VMS and TCPware. The problem is that when I read my mail into Outlook on my PC the time stamp is an hour ahead of the system time on the VMS machine and on the PC. I know it must be a Daylight-Saving time differential somewhere - but I don't know where. Can somebody put me out of my misery? Many thanks.

You can either define MULTINET_TIMEZONE or get the latest SMTP patch which should correct the problem. regards Mike -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Corbett Email: Corbett@process.com Process Software Phone: 800 722-7770 x369 959 Concord St. 508 879-6994 x369 Framingham MA 01701-4682 FAX: 508 879-0042 ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 11:53:10 -0400 Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 09:50:05 -0600 From: Dan O'Reilly Reply-To: Info-TCPware@process.com Subject: OpenSSH Security Alert To: info-tcpware@process.com Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20020626094935.03c0b1b8@raptor.psccos.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed A security alert was recently issued for OpenSSH.

It applies to TCPware V5.5-3, VMS/VAX V5.5-2 and later, and OpenVMS ALPHA V6.1 and later. The following changes have been made in this kit: FTP_LISTENER.EXE - Corrects some problems with "ALLOW host [mask]" and "DENY host [mask]" in FTP.CONF file. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8217) - In addition to the information about the FTP.CONF file found in Table 12-1 of the TCPware Management Guide (page 12-3), here are some tips on using the ALLOW and DENY features: o Keep the file short as each line in the file causes additional startup time for the server. o If the REJECT_BY_DEFAULT keyword is used in FTP.CONF, comment out any "DENY" line(s) that are redundant. o If using the "mask" option, comment out any duplicate "ALLOW" or "DENY" lines. For example: If you have a line "ALLOW 26.26.26.100 255.255.255.128", then you do not also need the line "ALLOW 26.26.26.x" in it (where x is 0 to 127) as the mask already covers that host. o Only printable characters are allowed in the REJECT_MESSAGE message and the message size must be less than 255 bytes. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 4 (DE 8217) - The FTP listener will no longer default to HIBERNATE when not active. To return to HIBERNATE as the default behavior, define the following logical prior to starting FTP: $ define/sys/exe TCPWARE_FTP_LISTENER_NO_HIBERNATE_OPTION NO ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 7837) FTP.EXE - Files are once again transferred in alphabetical order. A fix in FTP_V533P062 had caused transfers to occur in reverse alphabetical order although the final outcome was unchanged. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8179) - Corrects an issue with unusually long reply messages causing the TCPware FTP client to hang. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8010) - The TCPware FTP client will no longer insert a carriage return when processing long reply messages from the server. The old behavior was inserting a carriage return every 132 characters. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8010) The following changes are included from previous kits: FTP_LISTENER.EXE - When TCPWARE_FTP_NOKEEPALIVES is defined the FTP server will not send keepalives on the control channel. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 6875) - Correct a problem with occasional ftp timeouts. If the symptom still presents after applying the patch, a new logical added in this patch should be used to get rid of the symptom. The logical can be defined as: $ define/system/exe TCPWARE_FTP_LISTENER_NO_HIBERNATE_OPTION TRUE ECO FTP_V553P020, Rank 3 (DE7038) FTP_SERVER.EXE - Allows use of SRI encoding of Unix style file names on ODS-5 disks with the logical TCPWARE_FTP_USE_SRI_ENCODING_ON_ODS5. When this logical is defined to 1, TRUE or YES, the SRI file name encoding used for Unix style file names on ODS-2 disks will be used on ODS-5 disks. This also sets the default case of letters in filenames to lowercase and ignores the stored case. The following logicals should also be defined as shown: TCPWARE_FTP_DISALLOW_UNIX_STYLE FALSE TCPWARE_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_BY_DEFAULT TRUE TCPWARE_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE FALSE TCPWARE_FTP_USE_SRI_ENCODING_ON_ODS5 TRUE ECO FTP_V553P060, Rank 3 (DE 7844) - Corrects some errors in computation for the value returned by MDTM (modification time) for some files. ECO FTP_V553P060, Rank 3 (DE 7855) - The value of TCPWARE_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE is now observed. ECO FTP_V553P060, Rank 3 (DE 7860) - Corrects an ACCVIO that can occur when a file with multiple dots gets a "bad version number" error code. ECO FTP_V553P061, Rank 3 (DE 7912) - Corrects an ACCVIO that can occur when renaming a large group of files. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 8000) - Corrects an issue where the LS command displays file names in uppercase. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 8051) - Corrects a problem with using FTP's PUT command to transfer files from DOS/WINDOWS. ASCII mode causes the output files to be corrupted if the original file uses LF instead of CRLF to end the lines. ECO FTP_V553P050, Rank 2 (DE 7534) - Corrects a problem with the TCPWARE_FTP_SEMANTICS_VARIABLE_IGNORE_CC logical. ECO FTP_V553P050, Rank 3 (DE 7591) - Corrects a potential problem with padding the buffer on the last record of the transferred file. ECO FTP_V553P050, Rank 3 (DE 7756) - Adds a logical TCPWARE_FTP_DISALLOW_WILDCARD_DELETES. Define it to anything to disallow the functionality of accepting wildcards on delete. This may be done at the process, group or system level. (DE 7786) - When TCPWARE_FTP_NOKEEPALIVES is defined the FTP server will not send keepalives on the control channel. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 6875) - When the logical TCPWARE_FTP_ADD_CC_ON_FIXED_RECORD_FILES is defined to TRUE and a file is transferred as TYPE IMAGE the FTP server will separate the records of a fixed length record file with the linefeed character. This is useful to avoid the explicit conversion necessary when transferring the file to a non-VMS system with a FTP client that is not able to do record mode transfers. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 7272) - Corrects a problem where using put/mput to transfer ASCII files in VMS-PLUS mode causes the output files to contain hundreds of blank trailing spaces. The problem was introduced in patch kit FTP_V55P010. ECO FTP_V553P030, Rank 3 (DE 7318) - Corrects a problem with renaming a file to a destination name containing wildcards (for example rename t.tmp to *.ok). The file would be renamed but the connection was dropped. ECO FTP_V553P030, Rank 3 (DE 7164) - Corrects a problem where the last record is sometimes missing when an image file of fixed length record is transferred. ECO FTP_V553P030, Rank 3 (DE 7331) - Corrects a problem with writing out RECORD (STRU R) files. ECO FTP_V553P010, Rank 3 (DE 6983) - Fill in the resultant file name when an error status is returned due to unsupported I/O operations. (e.g. attempting to RETR a a directory when in Unix mode) ECO FTP_V553P010, Rank 3 (DE 6987) FTP.EXE - Corrects a problem where GET or MGET may fail when there is more than one "." in the file name and the local system is running VMS 7.2-1 or later and the current directory is on an ODS2 disk device. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 7915) - Corrects a problem where MGET and MPUT did not preserve the version number order of the transferred files. (ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 7426) - DIR/FTP and COPY/FTP now support the /PASSIVE qualifier included in the VMS73_DCL-V0200 ECO. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 7889) - This kit also provides an informational item below for resolving an ACCVIO problem when transferring a VFC file from VMS 7.3 to non-VMS systems using PUT command. The problem can be resolved by applying the latest VMS FORTRAN RTL ECO (CFAV-FORRTL-V0705-1 from http://www.compaq.com/fortran/downloads.html). ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 7881) - The KEEPALIVE command allows the FTP client program to toggle whether or not it desires keepalives to be sent on the control channel. The SET [NO]KEEPALIVE command allows the FTP client to explicitly set whether or not it desires keepalives on the control channel. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 6875) After installing the patch kit you should do @TCPWARE:RESTART FTP to cau
