I'm sorry I can't help, but have you considered contacting the Guinness Book
of World Records ?

Subject: 27,538 Sign-on attempts not valid


This morning user profile ELOYV showed a status of disabled and 27,538
invalid sign-on attempts.  I changed the password for the profile yesterday
at 14:36:24 and QSYSWRK disabled the profile at 14:40:09.

QAUDJRNE shows PW entries every two seconds from 14:40:00 yesterday to
7:10:17 this morning.  I enabled the profile at 07:19 this morning and went
over to the work station, a production floor PC.  The work station runs
W2000 and CAE V4R5.  There was a window on the workstation indicating ELOYV
was disabled.  I entered the correct password and signed on.

I originally thought there must have been a macro running but now I think
it's a software bug.  Any thoughts on what caused all these sign-on
attempts?
