proxy authentication services down

Hi,

Recently installed a new server into the tree and implemented NMAS for the
first time for the purposes of universal password access for CIFS to this
new server.

I now notice that our BM 3.8 (pre-existing) server is outputing this error
on console:

"NMAS launch failed, proxy authentication services down"

Not sure why this is occuring. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks
