Dear Bruno,

Im running TSM 5.1 on AIX 5.1

I have also experienced these 'authentication' problems
intermittently.  At first I thought my nodes were 'locked' but this
wasn't the case.

Have set: PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE in dsm.sys, my schedule and storage
agent startup from cron, but sometimes the schedule would not kick
off the backups with these authentication problems.

The next morning, I would then run dsmc on client, &  would be
prompted for the nodename & password.
The following night backups would run as normal.
