Ken's original question was about using a rexec client from CMS to reach
Linux.  I have a need to do things the other way around -- rexec client on
Linux reaching to CMS.  Again, this does not answer Ken's question (sorry,
Ken), but neither do the recommendations to use SSH.

Do we have an alternative when either end of the connection is in z/VM?
One that is open and supported by both Linux vendors and IBM?  I'd really
love to see a native SSH client/server for z/VM.

Until then, rexec it is.  Making sure that the systems are sufficiently
isolated network-wise to prevent password exposure makes it a little
easier to swallow.

Just my A$0.02 (worth a bit more in the US nowadays apparently :-)

Cheers,
Vic Cross
