SET JOURNAL LOGON OFF disables the logon inductor and discards the count of logon attempts associated with terminals and user IDs that are not logged on at the time. If SET JOURNAL LOGON ON is then issued, no information about previous logon attempts is available. Note: The logon inductor is the CP facility that responds to excessive logon attempts with a bad password. It temporarily prohibits a terminal or user ID from logging on.

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
