Hello all, We here at work have come up with an idea of connecting a heap of PDA devices we were going to throw away to our system via PDA - GSM modem using ssh. We are in 'idea speculation' mode at the moment, and trying to make a working prototype before showing management (of which they will bastardise of course). We have already got one of our PDA devices talking to our network with a telnet/ssh client (telneting only at the moment coz we don't have ssh set up), and into our live systems via 'normal network means'.
We already have a couple of linux boxes, one for CVS (Gee it took me ages to convince them to go linux... but, we got it - Bloody beaurocrats), and another box for 'play' purposes. I am questioning as to how best set up SSH (possibly even RSA key) on our machines... I can imagine the scheme to look like: PDA --> GSM Modem --> Internet --> firewall --> SSH to our linux 'play' box (possibly using RSA Key) --> set up profile to rsh (or something or other) to other machines (mix of AIX RS6000 and Unisys boxes). I haven't been too successfull with finding sshd for AIX, hence why I am thinking of using the linux box as the main mediating mechanism. Linux seems to be more supported, and there is much more info about it. >>> I would be glad to hear any suggestions, and will forward them to our sys. admin. <<< TIA John Z - Just a programmer (makes me sound like a musician, ay!!) =;8^) _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
