IMO, autologging a user should not reset the password count.  Inactivity 
timer, yes.  Bad password count, no.  Only a successful authentication, a 
RESUME or ALTUSER NOPASSWORD should reset the invalid password count.

OTOH, it's been that way for decades and it hasn't been a cause for alarm.

... Or maybe it has, but you just didn't know it... bwahahahahaaaaa!!
