The lines showing a disconnect that has been "FORCED BY SYSTEM" indicate that a terminal I/O error was encountered. This is the normal action under the circumstances. The logoffs that are forced by SYSTEM are also normal. Any time a disconnected user posts a terminal read or a machine is force disconnected, the logoff timer is started. Its default value is 15 minutes; however, this can be changed in the SYSTEM CONFIG file. If the timer expires before someone logs on to the userid, the user is forced.
The timestamps of the messages tell the story. The forced logoffs are preceeded by forced disconnects that occur 15 minutes earlier.
