You can disable login ports under VMS.  If you have an application that
uses the port all the time, the simplest thing to do is just ALLOCATE
the line.  If you don't have something out there all the time, but want
to disable logins, you simply set the line /NOTYPEAHEAD.  This prevents the
job controller from ever seeing unsolicited data and starting up a
LOGINOUT.  Our UUCP just sets the line /TYPEAHEAD when it starts up.
That way, when it's done and exits, the line is deallocated and automatically
reverts to /NOTYPEAHEAD.
