Re: No signon screen

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Autoconfig is a meaningless system value.  Client access, nor anything 
else, uses it.  They all run CRTDEVDSP under the covers.  I found out the 
hard way.  I set autoconfig off on one machine.  iSeries Access users were 
still able to configure sessions until I renamed the command CRTDEVDSP to 
CRTDEVDSPX.  That stopped them.  Perhaps iSeries Access used CRTDEVDSP as 
a remote command?  Anyway, when our system console died and we replaced it 
with a different model it would not 'autoconfig'.  We determined that it 
did successfully delete the old device but could not create a new one.  I 
had to use remote command to rename CRTDEVDSPX back to CRTDEVDSP and then 
it could 'autoconfig' a new terminal.  Perhaps someone else there adopted 
my trick?
But, as others suggested,
- If QCTLSBSD is set to QCTL, make sure that QINTER is running.
- Check the station address on the terminal
- Check the port number that you are plugged into
- Check out that the workstation is varied on.

When it comes time to scratch your system check out:

The same address as what?  Autoconfig is ON, BTW.
