SSH is a much better way to talk remotely with a unix based machine.
Everything (including your login id and password) is encrypted. Plus the SSH
suite includes sftp with is ftp without the clear text passwords flying
around the internet. Also, I believe that the newer versions of TSM have 128
bit encrypted Web administration as well. Installing SSH on AIX is a little
tricky, but not horrible. I think IBM has instructions on thier website.

Subject: Secure remote administration for TSM on AIX


Hi, all,
I'm looking for a good tool for secure remote administration for AIX
boxes that have TSM servers and clients running. I'm not familiar with
this 'remote admin' concept. I was told not to use Telnet because is not
secure at all. Some suggested VSN + SSH. Can anyone share some insight?
Thanks for your help!
