Well, if you're a masochist, you use TSO OMVS to get a UNIX shell. I confess to doing this sometimes. This is an interactive shell. I have used it to do ftp (not sftp) functions with no problems. Granted, it is just as easy to do ftp from TSO ISPF option 6 or the "READY" prompt. Or did you mean that otelnet will only get a "uss" shell. I.e. it cannot be used for anything else. Well, I guess that depends on what you call a "shell". If you are strange enough, you could make a person's "shell" something like: "tn3270 127.0.0.1 xxxx" where "xxxx" is a port defined to TCPIP as a TN3270 port. Also assuming that you find a tn3270 program for z/OS UNIX (there doesn't appear to be one in z/OS 1.4). Most "server" userids that I have defined which must have an OMVS segment, end up with "/bin/true" as the "shell". And they don't have a TSO segment or CICS segment. Neither are they on the APPL profiles for our CICS regions. This stops them from being used "interactively". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
