The AIX (and others) inetd superdaemon will fail (without explanation or indication) if errors

cause this behavior to occur. It is recommended that HPSS Administrators utilize some form of
“TCP wrapper” programs in conjunction with the inetd superdaemon (not provided with
H Used to disallow login for users whose home directory does not exist or
is not properly configured. The default behavior (without the H option)
is to put the user in the “/” directory.
I Toggle the use of trusted hosts. Default is off. Note: this is not usually
recommended.
K Read the hpss_option KTAB from the ftpaccess file to obtain the
{Path}/{Name} of the HPSS Keytab file containing the hpss_ftp
principal. Default: /krb5/hpss.keytabs. Refer to documentation on the
{ftpaccess} file for details.
L Read the hpss_option LS <string> from the ftpaccess file to obtain
the CDS name for the RPC group of Location Server. Refer to
documentation on the ftpaccess file for details. This option is
mandatory!
N Read the hpss_option SITE <string> from the ftpaccess file to
specify an alternate site. The string is the DCE cellname. This should

P Read the hpss_option PRINC principal from the ftpaccess file to
obtain the DCE principal representing hpss-ftp.
R Set the HPSS PFTP Daemon to use a specified port range for
connections to the HPSS Movers for Parallel Transfer functions. The
actual port range is specified in the Mover specific configuration
record. Refer to Section 6.8.13: Configure the PVR Specific
Information (page 373) for more information.
S Use the DCE Registry for Authentication (bypassing the ftppasswd
file). All HPSS FTP Customers MUST be in the DCE Registry since
either the hpss_XLoadThreadState() or hpss_LoadThreadState{}
call is invoked to obtain the end users identity.
T Read the hpss_option MTO <value> option from the ftpaccess file to
obtain the maximum timeout in seconds. Refer to documentation on the
ftpaccess file for details.
U Use UDP RPCs Only. Must be set! Sets the environment variable:
RPC_SUPPORTED_PROTSEQS=ncadg_ip_udp. Unpredictable
behavior and/or slow operation has been observed with DCE if this
parameter is not set.

and use the HPSS.homedir and HPSS.gecos Extended Registry
Attributes (ERAs) for the users Home Directory and Accounting fields
