I am trying to make an installable image of one of my clients on the
server.  I do "smit startup" and select the "Backup System" option.  I
am getting the following message when I execute the command:

auth_get: auth_des create failure

For backup device or file I am specifying a path to a file.  The path
is to a file system that is mounted via NFS.  Here is the command that
smit is executing:

 mkszfile -f'' && mksysb '/inst.images/risc_sys6000/3.1/clients/bos.obj1'

Please send mail to murphy@cs.uiuc.edu.  If there are requests, then I will
post a summary.
