i talked to minisoft about this too (funny how many people are doing
this...). i got the impression that you could sorta do ssh onto an mpe
box. from their ssh-enabled client, you'd initially connect to a
unix(?) server that would do the key exchange....with that accomplished
you'd be connected to your mpe server. clearly, there would need to be
a 'trusted' relationship between the authenticating server and the mpe
box (and trusted in this case has to be in quotes). you wouldn't
truely be doing ssh to an mpe server. i ain't real wild about the
architecture either....because the 'middleman' server would have to be
up and happy.
if this were a different time, i'd be pushing hp real hard to fully
support ssh on mpe. thanks to sar-ox, a lot of us are running into
this. clearly, we've got a security issue on mpe.
i haven't had to deal with ssh and telnet....but the topic has come up
for ftp. for us, the preferred solution is to do secure ftp...but
anonymous ftp is (barely) acceptable. the problem with mpe's anonymous
ftp is that it's really meant for 'pick-up' only. (that is, i'll put a
file somewhere in /FTPGUEST/ for you to come pick-up.) however, if
*you* put a file into /FTPGUEST/, unless i am user.ftpguest (unlikely)
or an SM user (not), i'll not have access to this file. in a
multi-server, multi-os environemnt, non-priviledged production users
*have* to be able to get these files.
i've open an SR with hp requesting 'site chmod' support. the number
is: SR/JAGaf55353. if you're in a similar situation, please call hp
and let them know you want 'site chmod' support. - d
