Judy,

Wendy is referring to a problem described in APAR PN85555.  The problem is
that in certain conditions of rapid archiving and/or archive deleting, ADSM
can actually delete the password stored in /etc/security/adsm/SERVERNAME,
rendering ADSM unusable, until a sysadmin can re-store the password.
