  files used by Communication Server IP:
  
  /var/sock/nss
  /var/sock/SYSTCPCN.TCPIP
  /var/sock/SYSTCPDA.TCPIP
  /var/sock/SYSTCPER.TCPIP
  /var/sock/SYSTCPSM.TCPIP

Problem summary

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  zSecure Alert ID 1402 (Global write specified when altering file
  mode) is triggered for IBM z/OS Communications Server API usage
  of AF_UNIX sockets events, when the Alert started task is
  running as SUB=MSTR. This is expected behavior and should
  therefore not trigger alert 1402.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Alert has been modified, so that the alert ID 1402 is
  not triggered for the access events for following AF_UNIX
  sockets used by IBM z/OS Communications Server API usage:
  
  /dev/log
  /var/sock/nss
  /var/sock/SYSTCPCN.TCPIP
  /var/sock/SYSTCPDA.TCPIP
  /var/sock/SYSTCPER.TCPIP
  /var/sock/SYSTCPSM.TCPIP
