Hello folks, The ssh issue for CMS has been a topic on and off on this list for quite a while. At the last "Hillgang" VM user's group, I asked 2 IBM representatives about an SSH client for CMS. They told me they did not have plans for ssh support in CMS. Previous to the ssh request, I requested an enhancement to XEDIT/UPDATE for BFS update support. The later was considered but later rejected. The reason for the rejection for the xedit requests was that the enhancement did not fit into IBM's vision for VM as a hyper-visor. I interpreted the response to mean "no enhancements to CMS". I assume the same vision applies to ssh.
IBM did say that if enough requests were made for ssh support in CMS, they would consider it. It is my opinion that CMS is an important tool for working with z/VM Linux. Apparently rexec is worthwhile but ssh is not. The only way IBM will address this issue is by members on this mailing list making formal requests for ssh support in CMS. We are IBM customers, therefore IBM needs to address or needs.

I am actually looking SSH client for z/VM that I can use instead of REXEC.

Kinda-sorta. We did a proxy server last year that uses a Linux guest and allows you to create a tunneled SSH connection to your z/VM telnet port. Basically, you run ssh in tunnel mode locally to establish a connection to the Linux guest, which then does an unecrypted connection to the VM service. Then you connect your client to your local port, and all external communication is protected by the SSH tunnel. If you meant, "is there a native CMS SSH implementation," not that I'm aware of. I think Neale did an implementation several years ago under OE, but it's really ancient by now.
