Johnny, there is port name called otelnet in file /etc/services which points to the port of the uss telnet. Of course either the otelnetd daemon or the configured inetd must be running. The port of otelnet must be different from the "normal" telnet port for tso. You must also have defined an omvs segment to your zos userid in RACF. But if you can start OMVS, you have it already. If all these things are in place you can start a normal telnet session with your zos user logon.
Hope this helps Franz Josef Pohlen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnny Luo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 2:15 PM Subject: [IBM-MAIN] Two silly questions about USS or OMVS on Z/OS Hi, As a beginner,it's interesting to find that there is also a 'unix' on Z/os.However,I know nothing about it.Before doing some research,I would like to raise two simple questions about ' What can USS do'. 1,The only way at this time I know to access USS is issuing 'OMVS' in a TSO session.Is there an alternate way?For example, access USS just like accessing usual UNIX system.You open a telnet session and directly connect to USS on Z/os,without entering TSO first.Is it possible? 2,Can I access z/OS data sets via USS?It's something like,editing a PDS member using VI? -- Best Regards, Johnny Luo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
