As I am not knowledgeable about AS/400's I do not know if there is an openssh/sshd app that could be put on there. They give everyone access 'locally' via telnet and some IBM gui app at the moment; the software: eNetwork Personal Communications AS/400 Client Access Express for Windows Workstation Program Version 4.3 If they can not find some form of sshd to put on the AS/400, I could give people access to a FreeBSD via ssh and then have them use 'something' to connect to it. Is there some terminal emulator that I would have to give them? I don't know how the AS works or what people use on it or use it for.. so please excuse the seemingly ignorant questions.. Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Look at http://tn5250.sourceforge.net/, as far as security your going to be disappointed. If your on the same subnet as the as400, a simple telnet session will allow you in the machine with a user name and pass. IBM dropped the ball with this systems security, as you prob know. For years they have toyed with the idea of killing the OS, but keep it alive at the last second. I work with it, but I don't like IBM's idea of security.
