Hi Julian,

A couple of comments on the login status codes (rev 7.93 Section 2.13.5
page 90 )  :

1)  Session type  | 0209 | Target does not support this type of
   Not supported |          | of session (not from this Initiator)

+++ Sessions are mandatory to support but can be rejected from a specific
initiator +++

The above status detail can be removed, since there exist only 2 session
types, normal & discovery, & both are mandatory.

Initiator         | 0206 | Invalid SID - no more connections
SID error       |          | accepted


+++ I've changed the text to:

   Too many      | 0206 | No more connections accepted on this SID
   connections   |      |

 CID error (e.g., CID exists already) are to be reported under 0200 +++
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Should the above read "Initiator CID error" ? I presume the above is
meant to indicate that the target cannot accept any more connections and
is rejecting a login that is attempting to add a new connection to the
session, as indicated by the presence of a new CID in the login on an
existing (ISID, TSID). If this is the case, the code should read :
"Initiator CID Error" , since this is an invalid CID.

Please clarify the intent of the above status code.

Thanks,
Santosh
