Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id: [201735]
a. Name of Feature: TTY terminal server over IUCV (userspace)
b. Feature Description
Implement client & server for a TTY terminal server under z/VM using IUCV as communication vehicle.
This line item implements the terminal server running on a dedicated z/VM guest. The terminal
server is a user space program that accepts connections via the normal network and uses the AF_IUCV
socket API to provide a console session to the Linux guests of the z/VM system that are enabled for
the IUCV console.
2. Feature Details:
Sponsor: zSeries
Architectures:
s390x
Arch Specificity: Purely Arch Specific Code
Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community
Category: RAS
Request Type: Package - Feature from IBM
d. Upstream Acceptance: In Progress
Sponsor Priority 1
f. Severity: High
IBM Confidential: no
Code Contribution: IBM code
g. Component Version Target: s390tools
3. Business Case
Customer requirement to solve restriction to access to the Linux console for many Linux
administrators concurrently and they find the z/VM 3270 interface inadequate for the 200+ Linux
admins due to the inability to use common programs such as vi from this interface. The customer has
a requirement that the Linux system that needs to have its console accessed, will have its TCPIP
stack shutdown, so the solution can not involve an IP connection to that system IP stack.

Please let us know when this is more fleshed out, so we can do any necessary setup and integration required. Is this considered a 'secure' local tty (like tty1-6 on a x86 box, or a serial console), or an insecure one (like telnet sessions)?
