That one seemed to be an easy one, and it is as soon as you know it :-)

My original question was:
> I have a puzzling problem with dxaccounts.
>
> When I run the program i states:
> >The password and group files are currently locked by another user.
> >Please try again later.
>
> But there is no other user running dxaccounts or any other pwd
> program.
> I have RTFM but I can't find any information on what lock files it
> uses.
> Does someone reckognize the problem and what can I do to get
> dxaccounts running again.
>
And several people answered:
delete /etc/.AM_is_running
it did the trick. THANKS
