Hi Paul,

I have it on good authority that server-to-server sessions are not
disabled with DISABLE SESSIONS. Admin sessions are not disabled, either.

In TSM 5.3, additional granularity was added to the ENABLE SESSIONS and
DISABLE SESSIONS command; check out the 5.3 README for this info (the
online help and formal doc will be updated in a future level).

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
