Problem with dsmcad in inittab

[Jan McKay]

We're having a problem with client software or with Aix box client is loaded on. 
I set an inittab entry to start the dsmcad process and it does not work.
I am refreshing the inittab so that it see's the new entry (telinit q) 
:once: does not work, :wait: does not work.
We know it is not a matter of the box not seeing its' inittab - fearing this,  I set 
it to :respawn: and boy, did it respawn!
