Hi:
Thanks to all who gave me the right answer. You are really fast. Sorry, that
I did not look in the archives as some of you sugested, but I needed the
solution rapidly. My colegue, who was confronted with the problem, was at a
customers site with the local system administrator in his neck.
The problem was:
adduser terminated with 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.
The solution was:
Delete the file /etc/.AM_is_running
Thanks again
