Barbara, We have LOGON(AUTO) set and OPERCMDS protection on the console name as userid. We allow control (K) and display (D) commands from the default userid. Anything else needs a LOGON. Consoles are set RD with roll time 1/4. What I've noticed is that at IPL time any command can be issued

AFAIK there is no built in timeout function. We put one together with our auto ops package (Control/O from BMC) that notices a logon then issues a logoff after 30 minutes. Timer is cancelled if the operator performs their own logoff. We do run with LOGON=AUTO but commands are protected (Top
