netcat for z/OS?

Is there a netcat or netcat-like tool for z/OS? Something that can connect to an HTTP proxy? The goal is to tunnel an SSH session through an HTTPS proxy. For example, this works on Linux: ssh -o "ProxyCommand nc -X connect -x myproxy:3128 %h %p" g...@ssh.github.com -p 443 I need nc or

Re: ChangeMan ZFS and CSSMTP to send email notifications

To restate. In our case, ChangeMan ZFS is functioning as an SMTP client, so we want to change it to use CSSMTP as the SMTP client by having the created email go out to the spool as SYSOUT, but we need to know how to configure ChangeMan so that it knows what the external writer name will be for

Hi Shelia, First off, in output of the LISTUSER command, find the most recent LAST-CONNECT date/time in the group connect information for all ID's groups. Most likely it will be associated with the ID's default group. If it is the same as the LAST-ACCESS date/time, then the later was updated
