To run sshd2 as a started task, use a JCL procedure such as SSHD2 (shown below) from /opt/tectia/doc/zOS/SAMPLIB. The JCL must be installed in the procedure library.

SSHD2:

//SSHD2   PROC OPTS='',PORT=
//TECTIA  EXEC PGM=BPXBATSL,
//             REGION=0M,
//             TIME=NOLIMIT,
//             PARM=('PGM /opt/tectia/sbin/sshd2 -F &PORT    
//              &OPTS')
//STDENV   DD  DSN=SSZ.SRVR648.PARMLIB(SSHENV),DISP=SHR
//STDOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*
//*STDERR   DD  SYSOUT=*
//STDIN    DD  DUMMY
//         PEND

Note that when sshd2 is run as a started task, the -F (foreground) option is required to prevent sshd2 from detaching itself as a daemon. If sshd2 is run as a started task without the -F option, it cannot be modified.

Start the server with the following operator command:

===> s sshd2 

The sshd2 job starts.

You can enter command options (described in detail in sshd2 Options) as an OPTS parameter on the "start". For example, configuration file options are entered in the following format (where keyword is a configuration file keyword):

===> S SSHD2,OPTS='-okeyword=value'

For example, to set SftpSmfType to TYPE119, enter:

===> S SSHD2,OPTS='-oSftpSmfType=TYPE119'

You can query the version of the server with the following command:

===> F SSHD2,VERSION

The sshd2 started task can also be started with a user-specified job name:

===> s SSHD2,jobname=own_job_name

You can assign the SSHD2 user to the started task by defining the procedure in the STARTED class and entering the user ID in the STDATA segment, for example:

RDEFINE STARTED SSHD2.* STDATA(USER(SSHD2)GROUP(SYS1))
SETROPTS RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH
