Re: invalid signon attempts...

By the way, when I do get a successful connection, my QHST log shows an
additional message:

 Message ID . . . . . . :   CPIAD09       Severity . . . . . . . :   00
 Message type . . . . . :   Information
 Date sent  . . . . . . :   01/15/01      Time sent  . . . . . . :
16:10:49

 Message . . . . :   User XXXXX from client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX connected to job
   250934/QUSER/QZSCSRVS in subsystem QUSRWRK in QSYS on 01/15/01 16:10:49.

But when the authentication fails, the above message is NOT logged into
QHST.

You would think that authentications could be tracked back to an IP address
on TCPIP connection attempts.  I wonder if the software just doesn't grab
enough info when the request is made.
