RE: QLMTDEVSSN like for iseries access

Yes.  However a user can also manually name the sessions.  There's nothing 
stopping me from naming a session on the PC name ROB to GDSPC40S3.  Our 
users, who span multiple systems often do something like ROBHQS1, ROBHQS2, 
ROBSYSS1, ROBSYSS2 for the i5 GDIHQ and the i5 GDISYS.  So figuring out 
the naming would be no great shakes for some of them.

I do appreciate the original posters attempt to work with this scenario 
instead of adopting the standard IS audit mantra that you should just turn 
on limit device sessions and go from there.  I typically ignore that 
suggestion.  I understand what problem they are trying to solve, but 
disagree with their method.

Anyone figure out a good solution, let me know.  We do currently have a 
problem with users sharing user id's.  Normally it's discovered when 
someone goes on vacation and you get a request to reset their password.

Granted all of our solutions will only thwart 5250, and not C/S 
applications and that genre.

Should have been more specific...

You can't have the exact same device names on the iSeries.  But you can 
have the same device name configured in multiple CA sessions with the 
"avoid duplicate names with other workstations"/ checked; which will add a 
unique suffix to the base device name.
