Welcome to IWETHEY!

New You can run the OpenSSH client on the iSeries
1). Grab the OpenSSH tar (AIX port)
2). FTP it to the IFS on your iSeries
3). On your iSeries: call qp2term (un-tar OpenSSH, install)
4). Post-install: qsh; run the SSH client

You are running V5R2, yes?

My $.02,

New YES! V5 R2. WOW! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

New Almost there! Please Help!
I went here:

[link|http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/detail.php?group_id=108&what=file&id=1133|http://www-124.ibm.c...what=file&id=1133]

and downloaded that file. I was able to unzip it, then untar it. I tried this command from a normal OS/400 prompt:

call qp2term (un-tar <filename>, install)

but it wouldn't execute. I was able to qsh and tar xvf the file, but the foo that's in that file I'm at a loss about. Is there some additional step I need to take to install it? Or is ssh <site> not the correct syntax for this port?

This will save me a ton of work if I can get it going. Thanks a million.
bcnu,
Mikem

New Late response....
....sorry for the delayed reply. My daughter is undergoing
surgery at Mayo. Not much online time these days.

I did not grab the binary from the developerworks site, but
rather the AIX port off the OpenSSH site. I did:

call qp2term
tar -xvf <file>.tar
config
make
make install
qsh; execute

One issue I have seen with qp2term is missing symbolic links
for the qp2term environment. Not sure about the failure to
execute message your are getting, but likely a link issue.

What is the exact error?

Works well on this end, but I did have to create some links
in qp2term first.

-Slugbug

P.S. Check to make sure you have the Portable Solutions Application Environment (PASE) LPP loaded. If "call qp2term" does not work, you may need to load PASE first. This is a no fee LPP that provides an AIX runtime on the iSeries.

New update...
The surgery went well and she is resting. She may need one more
surgery before its over though. We'll know by January.

Did you get SSH working? It sounds like you might need to load PASE.

-Slugbug
New Glad to hear it went well.
I'll keep her and you in my thoughts and prayers. As a dad, I can't imagine a more stressful time than having one of our wee ones (no matter his/her age) being ill. Hang in there.

Thank you so much for helping me out with this. I haven't gotten SSH to run yet. I've not given up, but management is directing me in another way. So, I'll have to try to skunkworks this through the back door. It would be the best solution, but, well, I'm sure you're familiar with office politics.

I'll ping back after I have a chance to try it and let you know if it worked.

Thanks again!

New Okie-doke. Where does one get a C compiler?
That runs in the PASE environment that is. IBM is telling us that we have to buy one from them. Is that true? When we do the q2term bit, we get a "no suitable C compiler found" message of some sort.

Is there a way to install a C compiler in that environment w/out buying one from IBM?

New Re: Okie-doke. Where does one get a C compiler?
Mike,

On some boxes I do have the IBM compiler, but on others I have implemented the AIX version of gcc and this works fine (though is officially unsupported so as to drive customers to buy the compiler).

In addition, there is a PRPQ (5799-PTL) that you might find useful for doing things in QSHELL or PASE:

[link|http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/porting/tools/|http://www-1.ibm.com...te/porting/tools/]
[link|http://www-919.ibm.com/developer/factory/tools/list.html|http://www-919.ibm.c...y/tools/list.html]

I believe the PRPQ costs around $100.

My $0.02,
Slugbug
New Thanks a ton.
I tried an AIX version of gcc and got an error saying something like "compiler is unable to make executables". I'll read the links (or forward them).

Thanks again for all the help.

More importantly, I hope all is well with your daughter.

New OpenSSH on the iSeries
I've not tried it with a V4R4 machine, but believe as long as you have PASE this should work. You can verify whether you have PASE by checking LPPs for 5722SS1 option 33. It might also be useful to have LPP 5799PTL on hand.

You can d/l 5799PTL by searching the "trials and betas" for 5799PTL at this link: [link|http://www.ibm.com/software/|http://www.ibm.com/software/]

Also, IBM expects to officially support SSH on the iSeries by year end, AFAIK.

Cheers,
-Slugbug
New Allright!
SSH on the iSeries... SCP will make me very happy.

Good to hear from you, BTW. I don't think I ever really thanked you for the leads you sent me during the last 'bad time'. The hope I got from those kept me from getting REALLY depressed.

I'm in a good spot now (even though I had to move to Atlanta to get it *grin*), though.

Anyway, I hope all is well with you -

and again,

Thanks!

IBM folks actually read about SSH on the iSeries here at the "z" and then decided to try it themselves. They've also been getting pressure from some user groups to support it, too. Many folks happy that this support is coming...

Re: lead sharing...these days we all gotta help each other! Glad to hear you are in a better spot now! Hanging in on this end, but would prefer 50-60 hour weeks over 70-80+. Not much you can do though...

New Hey -
If I get a lead, I'll be glad to share it...

As a matter of fact, I just had an old headhunter friend call me. I don't know what he had; I haven't gotten back to him, but if you like I'd be glad to send him to you. He does most of his work around NYC, though.

New Re: You can run the OpenSSH client on the iSeries
Good news for everyone.

IBM has a new product out now that supposedly gives you all the OpenSSH stuff you need (including scp and ssh). The utility is called:

5733-SC1 Portable Utilities for i5/OS

I understand that IBM does not charge anything for the license, provided you have an active software maintenance for your AS/400.

More to that here: [link|http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs022205-story02.html|http://www.itjungle....2205-story02.html]

btw there's not much new in this product, I understand that basically it is the same stuff the guys on this thread have been trying to implement under PASE. ...it's just that you don't have to go through all the untar, unzip, makefile etc. hassle.

Not sure if this thing is supported in pre-V5R3 environments, but surely you'll need 5722-SS2 Opt 33 (Portable App Solutions Environment) installed on your system...
New Cool.
