The following environment variables may not be changed once rsynd has been launched:

DBLOPT

DBLCASE

TERM

TNMBR

ISAMC_REV

SCSPORT

RUSER

If any of the above environment variables are set in the environment, a synrc file (/etc/synrc, /etc/srynrc.#### or .synrc in the user’s home directory), or script that launches rsynd, then their value may not be changed from its original value when rsynd is launched.

Note that if SETLOG is called to modify the value of any of the listed environment variables, even if it reports success, the value of the environment variable will not be changed.
