REXEC is available in Linux but you will get Auditors screaming about it. We got a wavier at our site. You can use IPTABLES to restrict REXEC access from/to certain systems.

All documentation I've found so far, shows how to do it from Linux to VM. Apparently the problem is, TCPIP for VM only has the unsecured REXEC client and SLES 11 only has a secured sshd. I've searched the VM download page for a ssh client. I've done some Linux searches for how to dumb down sshd (i.e. to allow unsecured transfers). Of course, there might be program products available, but unless they would be zero cost products, it's not going to happen in the short term. Thanks for any help Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting (Still on z/VM 5.2)
