Andy,
All of what you suggested has already been done. The Command line
includes the node's ADSM password, the NWPWFILE is set to YES. Yet if
the server is taken down, it does not always start up right. The scheduler
runs, gets it's schedule, but when it goes to start, it sits at a prompt for a
user name and password, which has been given the first time it ran. Any
further ideas on this?
Thanks!!

Novell can't use "passwordaccess generate".  If you have the ADSM
client scheduler start on reboot, you must specify the password on the
command line in the autoexec.ncf file (e.g. load dsmc sched
-password=???).  The ADSM Novell client also wants a Novell username
and password so, from what I understand,  the ADSM server can
and password so, from what I understand,  the ADSM server can
connect back into the Novell server and pull files to backup.  To make the
ADSM Novell client remember the Novell username and password after
you enter it, put  "NWPWFile Yes" in the dsm.opt file.  You must then run a
dsmc session so it can prompt you for the Novell username and
password.  I believe that if you are using Novell 4.X you have to enter the
username using the full NDS path, but I could be wrong.  I usually end up
entering every NDS-user-password combo I can think of until one works.
