Yes, very curious indeed. Makes you wonder if it crept into V7 as

APIs. Maybe their connected to your issue?

I finally ran this thing under the proverbial microscope, with the ILE debugger on the server job and the Eclipse debugger on the client.

And as usual, it turned out to be something stupid. Something between the chair and the screen. Something between MY chair and MY screen.

It seems that my server code was, at that point, misinterpreting a closed socket as a valid password change request, and attempting to service that request with what, by then, was a buffer full of encrypted garbage.

Duh.

Not quite sure why it would increment the invalid sign-on counter under V6, but not under V5, but it was probably either (a) V6 counts bad passwords in QSYCHGPW calls, but V5 doesn't, or (b) something changed from V5 to V6 in what a read() on a socket returns if the socket gets closed from the other end. I don't know, and I don't care; I just want to put the fix in, and put this whole episode behind me!
