Hello guru's out there,
* I have a DEC3000/400 with DU4.0B installed on it, as well as the
"enhanced security" option.
* When I want to unlock on of my accounts with the
dxaccounts-Application, I receive the following message:
"The password and group file are currently locked by another
user. Please try again later"
* When I try to make the changes with the "vipw-command", I receive
this message:
"password file busy"
* I already made a quick search through the mailing list archives,
where I've found slightly similar problems and answers but they
don't seem to help me out:
-I don't have a "/etc/.AM_is_running" file
-I don't have "yp" installed
-I've already installed a patch (OSF410DX-400010, e.g patch
240.00)
* But when I rebooted my system, I've noticed the following message
on the console:
Mounting Memory Filesystem
rw-r--r-- root system "a date in July" /etc/passwd
I don't know if this info is relevant to my problem, but I (dummy)
don't know wat this message is meaning.
I hope I gave enough information to you experts and I hope that someone
could help me out.
Thanks in advance to you all,
Chris
