Patrik,
5733-OPS is now deprecated and no longer supported on 7.3. It was replaced by "yum" and the open source packaging methods.
If you are familiar with RedHat (now part of IBM) "yum" packages are similar to Debian's "deb" packages or (conceptually) IBM_i save files, like those containing LPPs for use with e.g. RSTLICPGM, SAVLICPGM etc.
So, just like Debian has "deb" packages, RedHat has "yum" packages, and since IBM now owns RedHat, IBM has adopted that methodology and tooling for all the Linux FOSS stuff ported to PASE. ;-)
HINT: none of the open source yum stuff will "show up" in GO LICPGM. :-/
You can also ask FOSS related questions on the opensource list at midrange.com.
HOW TO BOOTSTRAP YUM ON PASE:
See these pages:

That should get you started.
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

Hello,
I have been tasked to pave a way to run programs on IBM i from Linux and vice versa for automation purposes. In earlier times, this was usually done with runrmtcmd (rexec), but Linux distributions are more and more deprecating the r* commands, and respective daemons, pointing to "use ssh".
As you might remember, I'm rather fluent with V4R5, but I was ignorant about newer IBM i releases, because they didn't affect me.
After some research, I found that ways to obtain ssh(d) probably changed over time. I found this:
https://www.seidengroup.com/how-to-configure-and-use-ssh-on-ibm-i/ — unfortunately no information to which OS release it applies.
It links
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-download-5733-sc1-ess-website and from the information shown, sshd seems to be 5733-SC1, and contained in the BGROUP1_04 image. Also, no information about which OS releases this information is valid with.
Looking at go licpgm option 11, most options are 5770xxy, and not 5733. Also, there is no 57xxSC1 listed. I did install 5733OPS (options *BASE and 7 only), though. I had found a document stating which option contained which and I left out things which aren't needed such as Node, etc.
I also have a dim memory about the requirement to do something in iACS?
May I kindly ask for some pointers to the correct way to install ssh and sshd on IBM i 7.3? Thank you!
