From: Richard Garland <OC.GARLAND@CU20B.ARPA> I wish to have my dialup lines hang up the phone after a user authorization failure. In VMS V3.x they would do this with I believe just SET TERM/PERM/HANGUP .... Now, with the same terminal setting, the lines don't hangup. The reason may be that *I think* they tried to make LOGINOUT more efficient by keeping it around after certain login failures so as to avoid the overhead of process deletion and creation of another process. I think each login failure under V3.x was a separate process (At least I used to get disks full of accounting records when one of my lines would go bad and fool the system into thinking someone was trying to log in for hours on end.) Question: How do I make it hangup after *each* login failure, which is what I want? I don't mind a more efficient LOGINOUT but there must be a way to do this. Rg -------
