Error running cozclient -ssh from a Unix machine

[gngrossi]

Trying to run the command from a Unix host and receiving what looks to be an error parsing the user@host string. Our z/OS userids begin with an "@".

cozclient -ssh @ABCD@mvshost ls
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]

I think that the problem may be with the ssh command on your Unix system.

Can you do the following from this Unix box?

ssh @ABCD@host ls

If so, can you do this and post or email us the results:

export COZ_LOG=T
cozclient -ssh @ABCD@mvshost ls

[gngrossi]

Test 1
ssh @ABCD@mvshost
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]

Test2
ssh -vvv @ABCD@mvshost
Sun_SSH_1.1.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]

Test 2 - successful using a .ssh/config file with the userid
ssh mvshost

Test 3 - successful
ssh -l @ABCD mvshost

[dovetail]

You are using the (old) Sun SSH client, which doesn't allow the user@host syntax with a userid containing '@'. Have you reported this problem to Sun?

The cozclient, for parsing reasons, requires the user@host ssh syntax. We do support @abc@host but the underlying ssh client needs to support it.

Your best option may be to install an up-to-date version of OpenSSH from sunfreeware.com.

Thanks for the update.

For cozclient to function, "dspipes" needs to be configured in OpenSSH on z/OS, right?

[dovetail]

Yes, the dspipes ssh server subsystem is required for "cozclient -ssh" (but not for cozclient run via the CoZLauncher).

[gngrossi]

Can you provide a simple cozclient command that "reaches" back to z/OS after being invoked on Linux from CoZ Launcher? Thanks.

[dovetail]

Under the CoZLauncher, you can simply do this:

cozclient ls

[gngrossi]

Tried running this from z/OS to a target zLinux server
//STDIN DD *
uname -a
cozclient ls

[dovetail]

Sorry, my mistake, since the CoZLauncher step doesn't run your shell profile, your path may or may not include /bin.

Try:

cozclient /bin/ls

[gngrossi]

Works great...thanks for the help.
