The Question is: We have discovered something unusual with our VAX/VMS 6.2 machines here, which doesn't seem to happen with Alphas running 6.2, nor with later versions of VAX or Alpha VMS. If you set host to any of the VAX VMS6.2 nodes and log in and type $ write sys$output f$getjpi("","LOGIN_FAILURES") you will get the result 0, which is to be expected (assuming there are no login failures.) However, if you create a DecTERM on one of these nodes, such as by logging in on the console, starting the Session Manager and selecting "Application-->DecTERM" you will get the following result: $ write sys$output f$getjpi("","LOGIN_FAILURES") 219288 You also get this result if you create a terminal window using Dec Excursions on a PC, or on any window that you create by using the $create/term/detach command. Is this normal behaviour? We uncovered this while installing software that checks for login failures using this lexical and e-mails the system manager. The Answer is : This is a known (and fixed) bug in LOGINOUT. Please acquire and apply the mandatory ECO kits for OpenVMS VAX, for the DECwindows version in use, and any kits that are available for any particular layered products in use.
