They are the index tee errors I showed you yesterday. We went down the road
you are thinking of, but we don't see what we expect fro corresponding
errors in the log files, based upon searching the archives for the expected
failure of this. And, we have not changed anything about the
configurations. So, unless we did have it configured for some other auth,
and it was "automagicly" falling back to BSD auth on the older client,
that does not seem to make sense. Debbie found some indications in some of
the debug files, that it appears to be having a hard time make the socket
connection.

I will ask her to post these errors, when we get to work today.

Just to make it clear _the only_ change wee made was to install the newer
client, on the exact same machine. No changes were made on the server
