Before VM got LOGONBY, IBM had internally a RACF modification that allowed a Logon By, for ages. Obviously, CP was not aware of the LOGONBY, (so no Q BYUSER for example). CP was even fooled: on the password prompt one'd enter byuser/byuserpswd/byuserpswd that is, for CP it looked like a password change. I think that around VM/ESA 1.0 both CP and RACF 1.9 got official Logon By support, that is thus at the same time as seen by external VM users.
