EZD1621I

Explanation
 An error occurred when the Defense Manager daemon
(DMD) tried to access the  defensive filter directory. 
 In
the message text: dirname
The defensive filter directory that the DMD was trying to access. 
errno
The z/OS® UNIX System Services return code. These return
codes are listed and described in the return
codes (errnos)  information in z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes.
description
Describes the meaning of the errno value. 

System action
 If this error occurs during the initial startup
sequence of the daemon, the daemon ends. Message EZD1611I indicates
the completion of the startup sequence.    If this error occurs during
the operation of the daemon, DMD processing will  continue without
access to the directory.  If the DMD stops and is  restarted it will
no longer have any access to previously created defensive  filters.
 The DMD must be able to write to the directory so that defensive
filters persist when the DMD stops.

Operator response
 Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response
 See the information about the Defense Manager daemon (DMD) in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for information about the DefensiveFilterDirectory
keyword in the DMD configuration file. 
 Ensure that the  defensive
filter directory exists, that it is on an undamaged file system, and
 that the DMD user ID has the authority to create, delete, and write
to files in the  defensive filter directory.  
 If this error
occurs during the DMD initial startup sequence, restart the DMD  after
you correct the error condition.   If this error occurs during operation
of the daemon, attempt to correct the  error without stopping the
DMD.  After you correct the error, the DMD will be  able to update
its persistent filter storage that is preventing any loss of unexpired
 filters.  The DMD does not need to be restarted after correcting
the error condition.
