If you want a regular "telnet", like a "normal" UNIX would use, then you need to pick a port that is not already in use. Port 23 is what UNIX people are used to and is the default, but we already had that in use. So I use port 2023. You need to have the INETD daemon set up per the manual. My setup is rather basic. I have one line in /etc/rc to start it up at IPL time: # Start the INET daemon for remote login activity _BPX_JOBNAME='INETD',/usr/sbin/inetd /etc/inetd.conf & (the first line is a comment, the second line actually starts INETD when z/OS UNIX System Services starts up at IPL time). In /etc/inetd.conf, I have: 2023 stream tcp nowait BPXROOT /usr/sbin/otelnetd otelnetd -l -D login And that is basically that. Once you have this set up, the Linux people can do: telnet zos.ip.address 2023 When they do this, it causes inet to fork() and run the "otelnetd" client. This client asks for the user's RACF userid and password. Once validates, it starts up the shell program contained in the user's OMVS segment, just as the TSO OMVS does. If you want (as I do), and your users need the z/OS UNIX program to be able to do X graphics on their desktop, you can automatically set up the DISPLAY environment variable to point back to their desktop. Well, at least it works for me. You do this by putting the following lines in the /etc/profile startup script: set . $(ps -o args -p $PPID) case "$3" in *telnet*) DISPLAY="$5";; *rlogin*) DISPLAY="$8";; *).DISPLAY="None";; esac DISPLAY="$DISPLAY:0" if [ "$DISPLAY" = "None:0" ] then .unset DISPLAY else .export DISPLAY fi I cannot guarantee that this will work for you. It does on my z/OS 1.6 system. Oh, and the Linux users must authorize the z/OS system to connect to the X server on their desktop via the xhost command. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
