We have a system generated some time ago that does not have the ability to query and set journaling. According to the documentation, the default is 10 incorrect passwords and disable the terminal/IP address for 60 minutes. This system is kept up for extended periods. I have a situation where I was given bad information about the passwords on that system. The day before yesterday, I ran afoul of the limit. Is there any way to get counts reset in this system short of an IPL? Also, the count seems to be ever increasing, allowing only 1 attempt before the next lockout. Is this as desired?
Please, no comments from Chucky about locking me out on a count of zero being appropriate.. Regards, Richard Schuh
