I have three TSM 4.2.1 Netware 5.0 clients that won't perform a scheduled 
backup.

Normally when you first setup the client and register the node, the first time 
it prompts you to enter the Netware ID & password for the backup and stores the 
files.

These three won't store the password.  Every time you run a manual incremental 
or a scheduled backup, you get prompted.  

The error shows as:

11/21/2001 19:36:57 ANS1880E TSA Connect error,
         NWSMConnectToTargetService 'CTRL3'
         password file 'CTRL3\SYS:TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/TSM.PWD'.
         Userid = 'adsm_support'
         failed with cc = FFFDFFD7

When you try a manual backup, the dsmerror.log writes the same thing, and on 
the screen you are prompted for the id & pw again.  The TSM.PWD file gets 
updated with the same date and time.

The DSM.opt file is set for passwordaccess generate and nwpwfile is set to yes.

Any ideas??
