we have changed the system catalog to display only question marks
instead of the MPE default
ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT (account) PASSWORD:
           USER
           GROUP

we are using VESOFTs complete tool box MPEX, SECURITY/3000 and VEAUDIT
(why not having MPEX for CI ;-)

we force ALL logons to SEC/3000 via system wide logon UDC (incl. SMs ...
as long as they do not use the bypass).

the MPEX BACKG LOGOFF task is configured in that way, that all SMs not
matching the personal session names for the SMs, are aborted.

I agree that the system's name, location and type could be helpful for
any unauthorized action to be taken, but on the other hand, by seeing
this info you must have been able
* to type an valid logon string session,user.account and
* to type in two passwords by having only a limited number of attempts
(SEC/3000 and not MPE feature).
We feel comfortable and secure, and never get an audit complaint for
this logon procedure.
