This may be way off so ignore if it sounds crazy...
Here's a snip of some old server code I wrote in C for Linux:
client_sockin.sin_port = htons(port);
rc = bind(local_socket,(struct sockaddr
*)&client_sockin,sizeof(client_sockin));
if (rc != 0) log_msg(0,LM_EXIT,12,"Cannot bind to port %d
rc=%d",port,rc);
When I run that code (on Linux) and tell it to listen on port 12345 it
works just fine. When I specify something under 1024, it fails with the
"Cannot bind..." message.
However if I specify a port less than 1024 and run it under root uid=0,
it works fine. In other words, in Linux (and I think the mainframe USS
too) you're not allowed to listen on a port less than 1024 unless you're
root.
But you already checked that the task is running under uid=0, so that's
why I'm confused. However, the message indicated "Bind" so I don't
think it has anything to do with certificates. I'm pretty sure any TLS
and cert negotiation comes after the bind() in a server program.

I'm not getting anything helpful on the console or in the joblog. But I am
getting these msgs in syslog:
OMVSKERN SSHD3 sshd[67174408]: error: FOTS1442 Bind to port 22 on :: failed:
EDC5111I Permission denied. (errno2=0x744C7246).

OMVSKERN SSHD3 sshd[67174408]: fatal: FOTS1464 Cannot bind any address.
I've looked up the 7246 code:
JRPORTACCESSAUTH EQU 29254 * User does not have authority to access
this port.
OMVSKERN's is UID(0). Has ALTER access to BPX.DAEMON. Port 22 is not in use,
per D TCPIP,,N,SOCKETS
None of the files in /etc/ssh had changed for 4 years, so I don't think it's
there. (I did set LogLevel to DEBUG3, which didn't help any.)
The only things I can think of that I might have messed up something with keys. I did try some
weeks ago to set up a certificate to bypass entering my password when using "ssh
user@zos" and didn't get that to work. And I did install a new CERTAUTH this week for the
new IBM service requirement ("DigiCert Global Root G2"), 'tho I can't imagine that would
matter.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated...I'm not much good with entering
USS commands via a 3270 screen.
TIA,
Wendell
