The Question is: Do you know of a way of resetting the Login Fails back to zero within authorize without actually logging in. I can't find any VMS command/utility/freeware that will actually do this... The Answer is :
A sufficiently-privileged user can use a simple program and particularly
a call to the $setuai system service for this purpose.
In deference to various web browsers, the angle brackets normally used
in this and other C programs have been here converted over into braces.
