Stu, One way to do it is to use exit points and not allow the account to be accessed from FTP, TELNET, etc. It's a bit different approach than you might have wanted but it is an effective way to control that type of DOS or similar action. That way the user access is stopped even before it get's to the validation process. Something I would recommend to people for their IBM supplied accounts as well........

This is to prevent the profiles being deliberately locked out as part of a denial of service attack. We do not want to set QMAXSIGN to *NOMAX as this applies at a system, rather than an individual profile level. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Is there an exit point we can hook into when a user profile is disabled and use this either to stop the profile from being disabled or re-enable the profile? Is there a way to override this system value at an individual user profile level?
