    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM HTTP Server users of the mod_ibm_ssl    *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    There is a safety check on the specified SSLCachePortFilename
    file to make sure it is the correct type of file before it is
    unlinked at initialization time before the new instance is
    created.  On z/OS 1.13 and prior the file was showing as a type
    character special file and the test was done for that.  On
    z/OS 2.1 the file is showing as type socket which causes the
    check to fail.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The check has been changed to make sure the file is of either
    type character or socket before the file is unlinked.
