IBM i : Automatic Configuration of Virtual Devices (QAUTOVRT) - '0'

Information

The Automatic Configuration of Virtual Devices (QAUTOVRT) system value specifies whether
pass-through virtual devices and TELNET full screen virtual devices (as opposed to the workstation
function virtual device) are automatically configured. Allowing the system to automatically configure virtual devices makes it easier for users to break into
your system using pass-through or telnet. Without automatic configuration, a user attempting to break in
has a limited number of attempts at each virtual device.

Solution

Set QAUTOVRT to 0
