<p>Within your security policy you should inform users your company's expectations
for managing their signon activities. It is important to document the number
of signon attempts that users are allowed, and the action taken when that
number is exceeded.</p>

available for signon again, use the following command: CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(profile-name)
