Last night, something strange happened and am wondering if anyone else has
seen this.

One of my nodes came up for it's every 90-day password automatic
expire-and-generate-new-password.  While this is normal, the password
change got lost between the client and server.  Here are console messages
from that time:

*Normal connection:*
09/18/2017 20:47:38  ANR0406I Session 155733 started for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT) (Tcp/Ip 192.168.21.128(58779)). (SESSION: 155733)
09/18/2017 20:47:38  ANR0403I Session 155733 ended for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT). (SESSION: 155733)
09/18/2017 20:47:42  ANR0406I Session 155734 started for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT) (Tcp/Ip 192.168.21.128(58781)). (SESSION: 155734)

*Password has expired:*
09/18/2017 20:47:42  ANR0424W Session 155734 for node ISILON-LS  (WinNT)
refused - invalid password submitted. (SESSION: 155734)
09/18/2017 20:47:42  ANR0403I Session 155734 ended for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT). (SESSION: 155734)
09/18/2017 20:57:48  ANR0406I Session 155748 started for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT) (Tcp/Ip 192.168.21.128(58835)). (SESSION: 155748)

*Everything looks normal:*
09/18/2017 20:57:50  ANR0403I Session 155748 ended for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT). (SESSION: 155748)
09/18/2017 20:57:53  ANR0406I Session 155750 started for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT) (Tcp/Ip 192.168.21.128(58838)). (SESSION: 155750)

*Password is Invalid?  What....what?*
09/18/2017 20:57:53  ANR0424W Session 155750 for node ISILON-LS  (WinNT)
refused - invalid password submitted. (SESSION: 155750)
09/18/2017 20:57:53  ANR0403I Session 155750 ended for node ISILON-LS
(WinNT). (SESSION: 155750)

Repeat 'invalid password message' every 10-minutes for the rest of the
night?

Client is 7.1.6.3 and server is 7.1.7.300
