SSH Client - How to Shortcut

[poorfellow]

Hey all,

I'm a little green on OpenVMS, and I have it on Integrity and x86 in my lab. How do I make a simple "SSH" plus the connection string work seamlessly? I can't seem to find both the location of the ssh client executable, nor can I find a way to make it run with just ssh.

I appreciate it.

Code: Select all

> [...] I have it on Integrity [...]

   What, exactly, is "it"?

      tcpip show version
      ssh "-V"

   Are you using TCPIP SSH or OpenSSH?

      prod show prod *ssh*

> [...] and x86 [...]

      ssh -"V"
      prod show prod *ssh*

   Now, with the preliminaries out of the way, ...

   In which direction?  What, exactly, does "the connection string" mean
to you?

   What, exactly, does "seamlessly" mean to you?  What's a seam?  Do you
want to use public keys,  or passwords, or what?

   As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results
(behavior, error messages, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations of what does _not_ happen when you do
something invisible.

> [...] I can't seem to find [...]

   On which system?  Why do you believe that you need to find any 
executable?  What, exactly, does "ssh" do in your environments?

> [...] nor can I find a way [...]

   "can't" is not a useful problem description.  See "As usual, ...",
above.

> [...] make it run with just ssh.

   Is that "with just ssh", or "with just ssh" and a "connection
string" (whatever that means), or what, exactly?

   For OpenSSH:
