FWIW - To power down the system from the panel, you have to switch it to
"Manual" and press the power button twice. (first time displays "?")

I just had a guy who is an admin on an AS400 transplanted from another
location come to me because noone could log onto his machine, and a few
other odd things. The power down button did not even work, so we did a
simulated power failure to restart (qsecofr could not sign on at the
console).
Once we did get signed on (qsecofr had to change password immediately),
several system values were at odd settings:
QLMTDEVSSN set to 1
QLMTSECOFR set to 1
QMAXSGNACN set to 3
QPWDLMTAJC set to 1
QPWDLMTCHR set to AEIOU@#$
QPWDLMTREP set to 1 or 2?
QPWDPOSDIF set to 1
QPWDRQDDGT set to 1
QPWDRQDDIF set to 1 (!)
I checked & the system date was ok.
Now, is it just me, or does this look just a little out of the ordinary?
