I've been trying to get WEBshell to work from my windows 95 PC, using an AIX
client. I created a password using MKWSPSWD, and started WEBSHELL on the
AIX client. I tried to connect from my PC and I get a login screen, but I
cannot connect -I keep getting a message about being unable to open the
password file.
Does WEBshell work on Version 3?
