Re: How to start DST without an IPL

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On V5R1, anyway, if you use CHGDSTPWD and then go into DST (or SST), you
need to change the password, and you cannot repeat a certain number (?) of
them.

But once _in_ DST, you can change the password for any DST user to
anything, even repeated ones.

This is similar to the situation with CHGUSRPRF vs. CHGPWD - the former
does not enforce the password rules, the latter does.

But V5R2 may have changed some of this.
