Help:AIX machine as file server for Macintosh through GatorBox

[Rod Early]

	If you are using an AIX machine as a fileserver for Macintosh computers
through a (Cayman) GatorBox, your help will be tremendously appreciated.

	Of course, I am trying to set up an AIX machine as a file server for
the Macintosh through a GatorBox.  (I have successfully set up an Ultrix machine
as a file server through the same GatorBox.)  I have set up the GatorBox to use
authentication using files (/etc/passwd, /etc/group) and the AIX machine seems
to have the necessary processes (mountd, nfsd, portmap) running.  The trouble
is that I get "Sorry, your password is incorrect.  Please reenter it." every
time I try to log on through the Chooser".  But I am sure that I am entering
the correct password.  The GatorBox log says this:

L4 d07f AFP: user's password didn't match password in file
L2 d07f some login problem (LoginComp)

in addition to other messages.

	I did try it with (purposefully) incorrect passwords, and I get exactly
the same response.

	I am exporting /etc -- this had to be done through smit.  I noticed
that the /etc/passwd file is different on this machine than on the Ultrix
machines I'm more used to and that there is a file /etc/security/passwd that
contains the actual encoding of the password.

	If you have any suggestions, or better -- a solution, please send me
some email.  If you need more information, please ask for it.

Thank you :-)
