from your error output it looks like the password of the user is expired but it is not detected by ftp.

Can you reset the user password and try again ?

is this a nis user or just a local user ?

[Todd McDaniel_1]

the destination is a local user... with a non-expiring password.

I suggested they change it nevertheless to be sure.

Check the password is not expired and correct.

what is that call to rexec_af doing?

[Dave La Mar]

Todd -
If according to the output, the MVS system is attempting the rexec, then I take the error message to mean the password for the MVS user has expired on the remote box.

I.E. The problem is a password expiration on the machine MVS is loggin into, for the given user.

Best of luck.

Hello,

The rexec() routine performs the necessary tasks to arrange for the remote execution of cmd on the remote host *ahost as user, who is authenticated with passwd.

thanks all.

The culprit was an expiring password on the unix side. I had thought it was set to non-expiring type. I changed the password and it worked.

Hi,

I got an error in REXEC in the same fashion

EZA4801I MVS TCP/IP REXEC CS V1R9
EZA4775I Calling function rexec_af with the following:
Host: shi004edwp01.SHDC.CHRYSLER.COM user: dboprsru cmd: hardcode/scripts/IM

Getaddrinfo successful
EZA4810E The call to rexec_af() function failed:
EDC8128I Connection refused. rsn = 76630291
EZA4744I Foreign host aborted the connection.

But I have checked the password, it is not expired.

EZA4801I MVS TCP/IP REXEC CS V1R9 (its R9 not R6)
please help me to understand the error
