APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The program fekfomvs requires the following UNIX permissions and extended attributes: rwxr-xr-x...aps- The extended 'a' attribute means that the program behaves as if loaded from an APF-authorized library. Without that extended attribute fekfomvs cannot authenticate a user attempting to connect to a remote system. This misconfiguration should cause the RSED to error out and prevent the authentication. But currently the Daemon authentication service fails to handle this and lets the authentication continue as successful.
Local fix
