My client is getting ready to change user passwords to *NONE and force them
use Kerberos for login.



I have noticed that SYSREQ 1 brings up a signon screen and does not use
Kerberos. Since the user doesn't have a password, they can't log into this
screen and their only option would be to close the session and lose anything
on the first session. We don't know if anybody is currently doing this and
trying to explain it to a user would be a pain because they probably don't
know that they are doing a SYSREQ 1. Many users just do keystrokes that
they were shown and don't know the details behind them.



Is there something I am overlooking that would resolve this problem other
than telling them "Don't do that" and hoping they remember? I know that it
would only take one or two times for SOME users to remember. It is the rest
of them that I am concerned about and cleaning up the data and locks from
abandoned sessions.
