Resolution
The documentation mentions the following to be used:
nmpwd --startup=<path to startup file> [--password=<new password>]
This is not correct. The path to startup file should also included the name of the startup file (by default strtup.ma and strtup.aa).
E.g.:
./nmpwd --startup=/etc/opt/novell/messenger/strtup.ma
This needs to be done for all startup files separately.
