Over the past couple of years I have worked on providing CMS with a SSH Server capability. I now have a working PoC that enables a full interactive SSH session or a 'one-shot' command mechanism. In addition, I have worked on providing CMS with a Python implementation (3.10+) which necessitated porting OpenSSL (1.1.1k and 3.6.0) in order to use pip3 to install packages from external repositories. Having Python means web-based tools are available including GUIs that enable tooling such as ansible and applications to be built and run on CMS. Python is able to deal with files encoded in EBCDIC (IBM- 1047) and ASCII (ISO8859-1) as I've developed an ASCII layer to multiple OpenExtension APIs. I am also working on a port of Perl 5.42.2 (the OpenSSL test suite uses Perl to automate its tests). This is in its early stages but I hope to have something to share during this session.
There is currently no attachment for Python, Perl, openSSH, and an SSH Server for CMS
As principal engineer at SNA Oz, I have been doing Linux on the mainframe since it was a skunkworks project within IBM. I have authored several articles in publications such as Enterprise Technical Journal (and its predecessors) and have presented on z/VM and Linux around the world. I am a maintainer of the CentOS-like distribution of Linux on z Systems, the Mono project (.Net on Linux), and the High Availability Option on z and Power.
