Re: Native was: Secure FTP Using SSH

Hi, Jerry:

Your analogy is a good one, but doesn't lead to the conclusion you 
suggest. We are natives of America if we are born in America. (That 
matches both the etymology and the usage of the word.)  *nix utilities 
were not "born" in i5/OS/400, so they are not "native".

That being said, I think the distinction is useful only in that it serves 
as a warning that things may not work as expected. It is not -- 
necessarily -- a value judgement. One cannot say that a "native American" 
(in any sense of the phrase) is any better than an immigrant, although a 
rational person will have some expectations of one group that are not 
necessarily true of the other. And that leads us right back to the 
difference between "native" and "non-native" utilities in i5/OS/400.

We work with the tools we have on the iSeries to solve the problems we 
face.  I find QSH to be very useful as a facility to work with the IFS.
