OPENSSH is pretty tightly integrated into the /etc file system (separate from the root file system). I have not head of IBM any maint touching /etc in a long time.
As long as you don’t replace the /etc physical file , you should be fine.

Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] Listers: My company has decided to forego FTP and go the SFTP way. I have installed OPENSSH and have SFTP working. I installed using the IBM user's guide and everything installed in the default libraries. My concern is, when we migrate to a new z/OS release do I have to do the whole install again? Can I, from the beginning, install all the SSH libraries in a different filesystem so that when I migrate I can just mount the filesystem and execute. And later on install the new version Openssh. Don't know if I am clear in what I am asking. Just some tips on facilitating installing under a new release. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
