Jim,
   Thanks .... after posting the question I found that setting in the IPL
   attributes and I think you hit the nail on the head.  It will be an easy
   test for me to set this to *NO and then see if that clears up the
   conflicts.  I also found the QWCRIPLA API so I can see how this is set to
   start with and restore the correct setting .... since I plan on doing this
   on a customer's machine, you don't want to reset the value to something
   that they are not expecting.
   Thanks.

 Rich,
 It sounds a bit like your asking about the TCP/IP servers.  If you need
 to control that use CHGIPLA to stop TCP from starting with
 QSYSWRK/QUSRWRK start and then start TCP/IP and the balance of the TCP
 servers manually in the start up program per your needs.
 A discussion of the IPL steps from LIC to OS can be found at the Info
 center under Systems Management, Work Management, Reference, IPL System
 reference codes. Until the system is at a point where the the start up
 program runs there's not much you can do with it unless you manually
 IPL, then you have a small amount more control...  but I sense the start
 up program is what your looking for.

    Does anyone know where I can find a description of the sequence of steps
     and when they get processed during an IPL?  I have some OS maintenance I
     want to do during the QSTRUP program, some of which affects exit point
     registration.  I'm finding that some server functions are getting started
     before I can complete what I need to do in the QSTRUP and the results are
     not always pretty.  It would help to know what is happening during the IPL
     at each stage and what triggers each event to happen.
