We now have two abends on the server so must restart the system. This seems to be happening on a regular basis. Anyone else having similar problems and found a solution to the problem?

Try downgrading the NLM to version 5.02r and see if the abend still happens.

Haven't played with 5.02y yet, not deploying SP5 for any clients until 2 more weeks of stability testing is completed. 5.02r was when Novell seemed to finnaly get the ftp service stable. They may have screwed something up in 5.02y Brent Schmidt CNE, Network +

If you're not using FTP, comment it out and don't use it.
