Hi!

In cases where I experienced the same problem it was helpful to make an
incremental save before switching to "auomatic" passwords:

1. set "manual" password on server
2. use dmsc to do an incremental, i.e. on /tmp
3. set "passwordaccess generate"
4. try dmsc again


Mit freundlichem Gruss/Best Regards
