Any experiences?
There is not an ssh server for VM, but there are a couple of
alternatives.
One is to set up ssh on a Linux guest user, and have that user run
c3270 as its shell, pointing at your VM stack. The Linux-VM traffic
is in the clear, but you can set that up so it's on the same guest LAN
(or even an IUCV connection) so it stays on the box rather that going
to an actual network.
Or you can use SSLSERV and just do ssl-wrapped telnet, which isn't ssh
but is pretty much as good in terms of protecting your traffic.
