RE: telnet exit points

I'm not following what it is you want to do.  If they don't see a sign on,
how will you even know what user profile is attempting to sign on?

The only way I can think of to do that would be if the person uses another
AS/400 at V5R1 or above with a telnet command.

If someone telnets to your system, passing to it a user profile and password
on the TELNET command, as you can do at V5R1 and above, then yes, you can
insert your logic before a sign on screen is displayed.

"For example, a Telnet application might want to log who is signing on to
your AS/400. You can get this information from the parameter named ETGUP.
When the Telnet server passes control to the exit point application (your
program), the field named ETGUP will contain the user ID of the person
attempting to log on to your system."

This tells me that the exit point program gets called AFTER the client has
gotten the signon screen and entered his credentials.
