I faced that same problem a few years ago, and set up the connection inthe client access properties to use a special user that couldn't doanything and whose password never expired. The user then logged in tothe emulation screen using his own ID. If your users log in to thenetwork, you could also make the iSeries password match the networkpassword if the user IDs are identical, and tell client access to usethe network user for making the connection (also in client accessproperties). In my situation, the users didn't log in to the network.Since many of the people were not very computer savvy, and didn't readEnglish very well, it was still not uncommon for a user to disable hispassword, so we also set up a green screen app that was available tosupervisors only, which allowed a supervisor to reset the passwords ofthe floor people. It was then up to the supervisor to reset the passwordand help the user get it changed during the initial logon. It workedpretty well in that situation, but we only had a small number of shopfloor terminals. BTW, we couldn't use a generic user, because we neededto capture the user ID for job tracking purposes.
