This will satifiy your needs http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?LCLQRY much easier than opening an APPC connection (as Alan says), or punching a file to yourself and check the sender (as I did before LCLQRY) LCLQRY can also tell who XAUTOLOGed a user. LCLQRY provides a class G solution to query your own, and a priviledged one to query the info for other users.
