Mark,
Thanks for the explanation!!!!! I did a q stat and found that TSM was set
with a password expiration of 999 days and the clients in question would've
expired recently. Thanks for pointing out that parameter! I hadn't
configured the TSM environment and I wasn't aware of it.
THANK YOU!!!!

I was experiencing the same thing, client's password suddenly don't work.
As
if it expired although I don't specify an expiration and that field is also
blank. This has happened on about 60 to 70 percent of my clients.
In looking into this I found that a "q stat" showed "Password Expiration
Period: 540 Day(s)" which is where most of my clients are at. I always
assumed that this setting was for the admin password, but it is for both
clients and server.
>From "h q stat":
Password Expiration Period
Specifies the period, in days, after which the administrator or client
node password expires.
So from "h set passexp":
SET PASSEXP (Set Password Expiration Date)
Use this command to set the password expiration period for administrator
and
client node passwords. You can set a common password expiration period for
all administrators and client node passwords or selectively set password
expiration periods.
Hope this helps.

Subject: client password expiration
Hello All!
I have had a bizarre occurrence of a client's password not working. When I
reset the password, the user was then able to use the backup/restore
client. What I am wondering is if I don't specify a password expiration
and that field is blank when I query that node on the TSM server, why does
it need to be reset? Also, a command line restore worked, but the web
client did not.
No changes were made on the server or the client when this issue occurred.
Thanks in advance!
