Check out Scott Klement's presentation on setting up the I for OpenSSH. You need to start sshd for the I to function as the host.

Maybe I'm confused because I don't really understand how these keys work.
It's like the first time I rented a car with a key fob instead of a real key, never having seen one of these, I spent a chunk of time trying to figure out where to put the key fob and how to start the engine without a key. Now that I know how a key fob works and that there is a button to push, starting a car with a key fob is a piece of cake.
Now back to the attached link.
I see step 3 is using QP2TERM to create a DSA or RSA key pair.
I see step 6 is FTPing the public key from the iSeries to the PC.
Doesn't this make the iSeries the client and the PC the host and allow the iSeries to connect to the PC? Does it also allow the PC to connect to the iSeries?
I did finally get a connection to work but I'm not sure I can explain how I did it and which of the steps that I did were really necessary and which ones were not. I'm deleting everything and starting over to see if I can do it again.
