Hi,
Trying to add a user in DUNIX 4.0D with the adduser command, I get the
following error message:
passwd and group files are currently locked by another user. Please try
again later. Error exiting useradd /usr/sbin/adduser. Check /etc/passwd
Executing the command vipw I get the following message:
You mangled the temp file, /etc/passwd unchanged.
The problem ocured with Patch Kit 2 installed. We installed Patch Kit 3, but
the problem persists. We deleted /etc/passwd.pag,
/etc/passwd.dir, /etc/ptmp, /etc/ptmp.pag, /etc/ptmp.dir and executed the
command mkpasswd. But we had no luck.
Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance
