Roger,
I've seen this happen a couple of ways.
I doubt it really "Expired", it's probably just "corrupted".
I've seen it happen when someone applied maintenance to AIX that somehow
(we never figured out how) stomped around in /etc/password.
Also if you are using the new NIC with a new IP address, I think that
can do it.
Doesn't TSM on AIX use the IP address somehow in the encryption key?

Subject: How did this password expire?
I've got a client node, which is a moderately large AIX server, and
which PASSEXP is set to 0, and which is using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE,
that all of a sudden started getting:
ANR0425W Session 44114 for node <NODENAME> (AIX) refused - password has
expired.
I got it backing up again by setting a new password. But, wasn't that
supposed to happen by itself?
How did this happen? Well, what changed? The above message started
coming when I changed its Ethernet NIC. No other changes - just a new
NIC. Why would this invalidate the stored encrypted password?
