That was my best guess Walt - but it could certainly be handled more gracefully!

I'll at least report to IBM that it should work one way or the other - i.e. be happy with a 10 char Id or at least not disable it. At this point I don't mind which!

And so far I still have no idea why my User was disabled.

This would be my guess: When PASE_USRGRP_LIMITED=N is not set, somewhere
during the initiation of a new connection ssh ends up seeing a mismatch
between the > 8 character userid it was asked to create a session for and
the information returned by OS routines like geteuid, getpwuid, etc. With
that mismatch, sshd concludes something funky is going on and bails out on
that connection attempt -- logging an invalid connection attempt along the
way. Eventually those invalid attempts add up and disable the userid.
