Users unable to access IFS after password change

List,

This is a problem we have been encountering for a few years now, and I thought I'd throw it out for discussion/feedback. A user will change his/her password on the iseries. Then when he/she attempts to access a drive mapped to the IFS they receive one of two errors: 'Access Denied' or 'Resource Not Available'. This happens only sporadically. Happened to me today, but I know I haven't had the issue in at least 5 previous password changes. Rebooting doesn't help. Neither does disconnecting and remapping the drive. The fix we've found is to change the affected user's user profile, and then to change it back. It doesn't seem to matter what attribute we change either. We're on V5R4 now, but this happened on V5r3 also.

Any ideas?
