1. If system is classified or does not use the FTP socket application the Default User and Default Group should not be defined. 2. If the system is a non classified system, running the FTP socket application and wishes to use the Default User and Default Group, a corresponding FACILITY-Class profile must be defined. The FACILITY Class BPX.DEFAULT.USER profile contains the userid or the userid/group ID of the default profiles to be used for a user without an z/OS UNIX profile (i.e., OMVS Segment).
