this is no joke - we had an govt-approved audit program that attempted to check for 'user-id as password' by attempting to login as that user with his/her userid as password (and noting where the login was successful) - reasonable - right? - WELL - someone decided to run this program twice in the same day - and of course 100+ folks (who had previously failed on their last logon attempt and temporarily given up or those who subsequently mistyped their passwords) got ACF2 suspended. When asked - the auditors reply was "wow - does that knock out users on the mainframe too? we stopped running this on (whatever non-mainframe platforms) months ago ..... go figure .....
