Re: Ssh

There are instructions down the page here:

http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/SSH

The userid that starts the daemon must have *ALLOBJ special authority
The userid that starts the daemon must be 8 or fewer characters long

Before starting sshd for the first time, you will need to generate host keys:

ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-3.5p1/etc/ssh_host_key -N "" 
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-3.5p1/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N "" 
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-3.5p1/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N "" 

You can start the sshd daemon with either one of these CL commands:

QSH CMD ('/QOpenSys/usr/sbin/sshd')
CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QopenSys/usr/sbin/sshd')
With IBM i 6.1 you can also use STRTCPSVR *SSHD 

You can stop the sshd daemon at V5R4 by starting the PASE command shell:
[php]
CALL PGM(QP2SHELL)
[php]
(then issue the command to show active processes)

ps ax 

(Find the PID number of the process for ssh and issue the kill command, if the PID is 1234...)

kill 1234
