Well Jerry, you've had an interesting week!

We're seeing the same problem.

Happened with a bunch of Win2K machines after we pushed out the 3.7.2 client
(to replace the 3.7.1 client) to about 90 machines.

What we think happened is that next time their password expired, instead of
getting a good new password generated, the clients flooded our server with
the invalid password messages.  When several hit at once it took the server
down several days in a row because the recovery log filled because there was
stuff flooding the activity log too fast.

We got a PMR open, but it hasn't happened lately, and I don't think we ever
got far enough with Tivoli to figure out what doc is needed for them to
pursue it.  We can't reproduce it on demand, so I don't know how we would do
a trace.  And it didn't happen to EVERY client we upgraded, just some of
them.

Our desktop support people just tracked down the runaway machines and fixed
the passwords as necessary to get our server running again.  If we can get a
handle on how to nail one (before it takes our server down) we will pursue
it with Tivoli.

Our server is AIX, 3.7.2.
