We have the same problem. 5 identical novell servers (even the hardware is
the same, right down to the stepping on the CPU) works great for 4 of
them, doesn't work at all for the 5th.  Same file changes you describe..
it just doesn't want to read the file... If you come up with the solution,
please post! :)

// We have a customer using v3.1.0.6 client on netware 4.11

But then asks you for it again everytime it needs it rather then reading it 
from the file. Everytime you enter it the password file timestamps indicate 
that the password is being saved.
