Thanks Scott. I think that is what was happening. What is the best way to look at RACFVM console log without logging on to it? Still trying to learn these things!

I believe this can happen when a RACF privileged user enters the wrong password too many times.. a prompt that must be responded to or time out occurs on the RACFVM machine.. Does this user have RACF privs? If so -- they probably need their password reset.. Scott On Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 11:07 AM, Martin, Terry R.

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused RACF not to respond. I have logged on a bunch more times without any issue.
