We have a customer at a remote location who is able to sign on to our
AS/400 using iSeries Access for Windows. From this 5250 session the
customer then Telnets into his own RS/6000. We have just discovered
that when he does so the password field is completely visible as he
types it. This seems to be a feature of VTxxx support. According to
the iSeries Information Center, V5R3,
there is a *HIDE function that by default is set to the F6 key. "Use
this function when typing a password," says the book. This appears to
work inasmuch as it makes the entire screen go blank. However, we
cannot rely on them bothering to blank their screen every time they
log into their RS/6000 from our AS/400. Has anyone met this issue
before?
