Re: SAVE 21 remote hmc and pc energy saver

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sadly in release 6 and prior of the HMC you didn't even need a session 
at the HMC. As soon as you created a Shared session it held it there for 
you even if your remote session disconnected. Now what Jim describes is 
required in order to have a session active at the HMC in case the remote 
one goes away.

Here's the rub though, now you've got a possible security issue because 
if you sign on to the system console with a *ALLOBJ authority user and 
someone walks up to the HMC they can do nefarious things. I know that 
the HMC is normally behind locked doors so that means something but it's 
no guaranteed. Also you could do the console lock at the HMC but it 
shows the user ID and since most of you use hscroot and the password is 
still abc123(4)...... :-)
