Has anyone seen problems with TSM 3.7.2 clients "running away" when the
client tries to logon with an invalid password?

Here is the scenario:

        Both the client and the server are running 3.7 - the server is MVS,
3.7.40, the client is an NT client with the 3.7.2 code installed.  The
password has expired; it was last changed approximately 135 days ago.

     The client dials in via Shiva, and gets a connection to our network.
The connection is made, and a message is logged that the password has
expired.  The session is ended, and immediately, a retry is attempted.  The
same results occur, of course.  This happens at approximately 2 attempts per
second.  I have not talked to the client, but it appears that it is coming
from the scheduler service.

I found it, took a swag at what was expected as a password, changed it, and
the problem stopped.  I can only assume that I changed the password
correctly, but it's highly unlikely  I'm that good.

Any suggestions or experience here?
