    After I enter the root passwd, a window with title 'badpasswd' pops up

    Now clicking on the icons for AdvFS or Prestoserve Prompts for the
    passwd with a window entitled 'Action Invoker - Password' ; whereas,
    File System Mgmt prompts for the passwd with window entitled
    'Get Password on myhost.domain.com'

    The former accepts the passwd the latter does not.

    Bootable Tape also invokes the same passwd prompt window which fails. I
    don't
    have LSM installed so I can't test if this one works.

      This is on 5.1B with AdvFS. When logged in as myself I enter
      Application Manager>System_Admin>Storage_Management>File System Mgmt

      and I am prompted for the root passwd, which I enter and it rejects.
      The passwd entered is correct. This is a nuisance because I have to
      log out and log in as root. Is this a 'feature'?
