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. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
