So, reading this thread, I tried on a whim:

    user@HOST: sftp localhost
    + sftp localhost
    Connecting to localhost...
    FOTS1252 The SSH client cannot be run under OMVS.
    FOTS0841 Connection closed

I'm not surprised; I understand it has to do with some colossal stupidity
concerning password masking.  *But* I am set up with my public key in
my ~/.ssh directory; I can sftp OK from a ssh session without entering a
password.  So, why does ssh refuse to operate from an OMVS session,
before determining that a password needs to be entered?  More stupidity?

OTOH:

    $ echo ssh `hostname` cat /etc/services | batch 
    job 1379968140.b at Mon Sep 23 14:29:00 2013    

... works fine from an OMVS session because the connection is not being
made from OMVS.
