I'm running ADSM 3.1.2.55 on AIX 4.3.3. Last night I noticed a complete
schedule fail so I checked the services on those nodes to see if someone had
turned off the service. They had not so I went to the server log and found
they had all failed with the following error:
ANR0484W Session 3181 for node CP-ITS-WEB08 (WinNT) terminated - protocol
violation detected.

Now I know this is a password problem so I've already updated each node with
the correct password. I see this from time to time on other nodes too but
now I've decided this is strange. Here are my questions:

Where is the setting that ADSM changes the password on a certain number of
days and how can I set it to never expire?

Would this be a good practice, I find this annoying when it happens?

If the options file has passwordaccess generate, why is this happening?
