Re: AS400 Profile Disabled

[Loyd Goodbar <loyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does that user have a network drive mapped? They may have a cached password
that is different from the "i" account.

Or, do they sign on and automatically press Enter three times to bypass the
"Sign-on Information" and "Display Program Messages" screens? Some users
here do that.
