Either this is wrong or my system is broken...  I have Nodename set for
EVERY machine on the network, and Generate works fine for all AIX clients.

I have gotten the described password problem, though when my root filesystem
has filled up, and there is nowhere to write the next encrypted password...

Next time you get the problem, do a df and take a look at your root FS.
