Hi Chris,
We're on V5R4.
When you say my "default path" do you mean the home directory on my user profile?
I actually tried to do this under two user ids...
One just has "/" as home directory and the other has "/home/userid" as you described, with my user profile ID, if that's what you mean.

Look here.

What is your default path? /home/userid
What version of i5OS?

Subject: Getting started with OpenSSH and SFTP: key setup
Hi,
I'm getting started on an SFTP project, trying to follow the steps in an article by Scott Klement, "The SSH, SCP and SFTP Tools from OpenSSH."
I got to the part "Generating Server Keys"
Did this: Call QP2Term
Did this: cd /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-3.5p1/etc
Did this: ssh-keygen -N "" -t rsa1 -f ssh_host_key
Got the message:
Couldn't get password entry for current user (1224): File name too long
ssh-rand-helper child produced insufficient data
Is this an authority issue, or is there something else I'm missing?
