Eric,
thanks for this tip! It solved our problem!
How do you know that a password file is corrupted?
We had two on this machine (for the old and the new TSM server)
and both were 81 bytes in length.
But I'm glad the problem is solved anyway!

Thanks and greetings from Australia .. ehm .. Austria
Thomas Rupp
