Rich,

Have you looked at the host server, telnet, ftp and rexec exit points? The
Telnet initialization exit point will only provide attempts when a user
first connects. So, if the attempts are from a green screen you will have to
look for PW entries in QAUDJRN. QJORDJE5 record format (*TYPE5) will
provide the remote address associated with the journal entry. The Telnet
termination exit point will only fire when the connection is ended.

for the TCP/IP entry parameter layouts.

subject: trapping source of invalid login attempts

Does any information like source IP, etc get logged in the system
security journals when a user attempts a login and fails? We have one
of our user profiles that is getting disabled every morning on one of
our partitions and we are having trouble tracking down who/what/where
these attempts are coming from.

All of our iSeries are behind our firewall and the account in question
has been used for program-to-program automation for many years
(interactive use is disabled), so we assume there is an older version of
a program out there trying to connect with an old password (which are
changed regularly).

Any suggestions?
