Creating the SSHD2 User
The SSHD2 user is used during the installation of SSH Tectia Server (M).
User address spaces start up as copies of the server address space and
then change to the user's identity by executing setuid(). The user
running the server must be a superuser (UID 0). Further, if the
BPX.DAEMON FACILITY class profile is defined, the user must have read
access to it. The server program (/usr/lpp/ssh2/sbin/sshd2) must be
program-controlled.
The BPX.DAEMON FACILITY allows you to control which superusers
may change UID without presenting a password. See the USS Planning Guide
for instructions on how to set it up.
To create the SSHD2 user, use commands such as those in
ADDSSHD2 example (see Appendix ADDSSHD2).
The example commands create an initial password which must be changed by
the user. Login to the system once as SSHD2 using TSO or Telnet
and change the password.
The password is required because the SSHD2 user is used during
installation to log in. After the installation, the password can be
revoked or removed.
