PROBLEM:
When trying to delete an account under 4.0D (base security), "userdel" and
therefore also "removeuser" and "dxaccounts" give the error message
   userdel: Password entry is corrupted. Please repair the password file
   and then run Account Manager

SOLUTION (by Dave.Vaughan_at_digital.com):
Do you have patch kit 2 installed ?
This sounds like the problem caused by patch 0153.00
If this patch is installed, remove it and you should be all set.

Robert.Otterson_at_digital.com added that
for this particular patch removal you do NOT need single USER if you do it
this way.
   #dupatch -delete -name root -note deinstall153
   ( select the patch )


Thanks,
