I wouldn't run the tn5250 client in PASE. Instead, I'd carry a flash drive with TN5250 installed on it, and use TN5250 with SSL to connect to the IBM i.

If you prefer SSH to SSL for some reason, then have Putty or OpenSSH on the flash drive as well as TN5250, and run TN5250 through an ssh tunnel.

I think running TN5250 on PASE will be difficult, and since TN5250 won't have access to the keyboard, getting the keyboard mapping right will be extremely difficult. I strongly recommend running it on the end-PC rather than trying to run it on PASE.

Hello,

If I understand correctly, PASE is a unix (AIX)-like subsystem on IBM
i and predecessors.

I'm having the following setup in mind:
* install GCC on PASE
* install OpenSSHD on PASE
* install tn5250 console client on PASE

I want to use this setup to encrypt the TN5250 traffic, and I know I
can use SSL on the TELNETD. The issue with that is that I'm mostly
on-the-road and this is a test/dev system at home, and I want to run
the tn5250 client on the AS/400e (V5R1) itself so I can basically use
any PC w/ putty/openssh/<insert your most favorite SSH client here>. I
also want to use it as an SSH tunnel to access the other services at
the machine/my lan, and this setup might solve all those things at once.

Now the questions are:
* is this setup possible?
** which are the drawbacks to such a setup, knowing that this is not
production hardware, but a spare device to carry out quick tests?
* how do I install AIX software on it? Can I use those GCC packages?
* can I use the normal init scripts to auto-start daemons in PASE?

I tried searching the interwebs and the IBM site, but all the
information is about more recent releases (V5R4+), and in the past I
ran into issues because of some things which weren't supported yet.
