It happened to me last week when the DNS domain name was changed on a couple of client nodes. Everything else stayed the same, but I still had to reset the passwords.

Roger, I've seen this happen a couple of ways. I doubt it really "Expired", it's probably just "corrupted". I've seen it happen when someone applied maintenance to AIX that somehow (we never figured out how) stomped around in /etc/password. Also if you are using the new NIC with a new IP address, I think that can do it. Doesn't TSM on AIX use the IP address somehow in the encryption key?

I've got a client node, which is a moderately large AIX server, and which PASSEXP is set to 0, and which is using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE, that all of a sudden started getting: ANR0425W Session 44114 for node <NODENAME> (AIX) refused - password has expired. I got it backing up again by setting a new password. But, wasn't that supposed to happen by itself? How did this happen? Well, what changed? The above message started coming when I changed its Ethernet NIC. No other changes - just a new NIC. Why would this invalidate the stored encrypted password?
