Subject:  disabling TCPIP commmethod


OK folks, this one has bothered me for years.  I want to disable the TSM
server
 completely while I do some work.  Rather than using the "disable sessions"

command, I want to in effect disable TCPIP connections altogether.  I have
attempted commenting out "COMMmethod TCPIP" in the dsmserv.opt file, but it

appears that this is the default, so it has no affect.

Besides the obvious answer of disconnecting the network cable, how can I
force
the TSM server to ignore every TCPIP request.  When sessions are disabled,
the
activity log shows connection started, than a message indicating that user
access is disabled.  I want to avoid this.

Thanks in advance.
-Matt
