[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: CmdSN during loginThere was ambiguity at first login that we have cleared in text and as I said I don't see any good reason for another case of immediate when we have the immediate bit available. What we could do is add anothe pragraph to 8 recommending when to use the I bit in login.

What would one do? What is wrong with just making the CmdSN not run during login? It seems like it was an arbitrary choice in the first place since it was originally optional and not using it actually worked. If CmdSN is stated as only used in FFP, then I don't see any ambiguity.
