Ive' had this happen before, still not sure what does it - as your AIX guys if they installed any maintenance, or did something that would change permissions - I'll bet they did.
If you have passwordaccess GENERATE, the TSM password is encrypted into a file in /etc/security somewhere. Sometimes something wipes it out (or maybe changes the permissions on the file), and we get the results you describe. Still haven't tracked down why, let me know if you find out anything! ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Anderson, Michael - HMIS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 9:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AiX client password problem Can anyone share some light on a question I have. One of my AIX clients backup failed due to a password problem. The client log gave a ans0282e password file is not available error. The TSM log gives a ANR0424W session refused invalid password submitted. If we reset the password and then rerun the job it works ok, but the AIX guys are asking me what happened and I don't know what to tell them. This is the second client that this has happened on, and I have the password expiration set to 9999. My server is TSM 4.1.0 and the client is 4.1.2.0 Thanks Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
