Jerry,
Detailed out, the first time dsmc is launched w/NWPWFILE YES the NWUSER and 
password must be input to continue, this creates the encrypted file.  Any 
subsequent load after that, the only prompt is the ADSM password for the node 
that has been defined to the  ADSM server, either by the admin or by the client 
(and does require periodic change if defined in the ADSM server rules), the 
nwuser and password are sourced from the encrypted file.  If dsmc is loaded w/o 
the -password=xxxxx string, user input is required to continue.  An added note 
is that if the password for the NWUSER account that the client runs under is 
changed, the encrypted username/password combination will not suceed in logging 
in via the TSA.  If periodic password changes to the ADSM netware account is 
enforced, an additional admin function is required to complete the process by 
having the administrator load dsmc after the netware password change and 
re-input the nwuser and password which will create a new encry
 
 pted file. We generally deleted an
d purge the retiring encrypted file prior to rconsole to load and change 
passwords, the saves the 'corrupt' error message from bopping to screen..  We 
use the NWPWFILE YES on all our servers (3.12 and 4.11, v2 and v3 clients) and 
have not encountered any problems over the past year.
Thanks!!
