Greeting,

I received two replies, one from Eirh-Yu Hsie and
other from Demian Hanks.

Both suggest me using keylogin -r to get a new key.
I follow their advice, and it works fine.
Here is the summary:

SRDB ID: 18586

SYNOPSIS: sendmail authdes_refresh: keyserv(1m) is unable to encrypt
 session key

DETAIL DESCRIPTION:

Getting the error message below every 15 minutes on a new added NIS+ clients
sendmail authdes_refresh: keyserv(1m) is unable to encrypt
 session key

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

On the root master do the following commands:
         #nisaddcred -p unix.hostname@domain -P hostname.domain.name. des
         #nisping -C org_dir
         #nisping -C groups_dir
         #nisping -C domainname
         
On the nis+ client machine (machine getting the error) do
         #keylogin -r

Thanks all who replied to me.
