The Telnet Init exit program is triggered when the client first
attempts to make contact with the OS/400 telnet server (the INIT
statement).  More specifically, when your PC reaches out and taps the
AS/400 on the shoulder and says "I want a Telnet session".  Control is
then passed to the Exit program, and it decides whether the user will
be presented with a terminal session.

Be aware that if you are trying to control Telnet by user, the
following rules apply:

If you're using Client Access Express (or a _few_ of the other 3rd
party emulation tools that support the Telnet 5250E protocol), and you
choose the bypass signon option, then the users OS/400 User ID is
transmitted with the Telnet Init Request.

If you're not using a 5250E capable client, or you do not bypass
signon, the user profile that the INIT runs under will always be QTCP.
When the OS/400 Signon screen is displayed, the real user can signon.

HTH,
