Firstly, I don¡¯t think any one ever changes the passwords supplied. So I am pretty sure I can logon to most machines as ¡°maint¡± and ¡°cpcms¡± and be in total charge.
You should, I would have thought, be able to copy the users file to your ¡°A¡± disk and edit it so you have a unique password but that doesn¡¯t seem to work¡
¡ also I assume you don¡¯t pass port 3270 through your firewall.?
I think it is what it is. Probably not worth spending time on, but possibly worth keeping.

Then, if you wish, you can logon to the virtual machine again. This will reconnect the console, end GCIC and get you back at the CMS Ready prompt, from which you can logoff. :-)
After you are done with editing, you can drop from the dial connection.
For new users this would be the tricky part, if they have not used DIAL ("Don't you wish everybody did?") #CP, nor CP DISCONN, nor LOGOFF will get you out of the session. As far as I can tell, you have to allow the session to time out, so you can log back in, per Rene's comments, because disconnecting and reconnecting your 3270 session lands you where you left off.

Without additional documentation, I don't see this as very useful. ALSO, your password is typed 'en clair', for anyone to see (as if my dog can type.) ?... Mark S.
