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.
