Update Behavior of TSM Node Fields

The update behavior of several Node fields seems to be strange.
e.g. The Field LASTACC_TIME is defined as the "The last date and time
that the client node accessed the server".
When a node with nodename NodeA tries to logon to a tsm server the
server updates the following fields of the registered node NodeA
(LASTACC_TIME, TCP_ADDRESS, TCP_NAME..... and maybe more). It updates these fields
regardless of whether the logon was successful or not.
The export of a node to another server reset the field to the date/time
when the export was started.

So the field LASTACC_TIME is therefore more describing The last date
and time someone tried to
logon with the same nodename

Instead of updating the fields with values which don`t belong to the
registered node it would be more useful to have a log entry that tells
us that someone from ip-address xxxxxx tried to logon with nodename
NodeA.
