John, my complete LU 6.2 exposure comes from VTAM Programming for LU 6.2,
and I am not of a computer science background, so I have some naive questions
whose answers may be of general interest:

Where is "password management" defined for LU 6.2?  Does the definition of
LU 6.2 extend beyond the use of the VTAM macros?  If so, in what ways ...
that is, what is the bigger picture?  What is "Sign-On"?  There is a
reserved place in the FMH-5 for userid, password and profile.  Is the optional
use of these fields not related to "sign-on"?  Does LU 6.2 extend into the
definiton of the TPs that exist behind the communications interface?
