Hello!

We have a DEC 4100 running UNIX 4.0D. I was using dxaccounts to create a user
account at the console. Screen flashed and logged me out. I logged back in and
execute "dxaccounts", I get the following error:

The passwd and group files are locked by another user. Please try later.

I looked for any processes running, but no processes were running regarding
dxaccounts.

I rebooted the server and tried executing the "dxaccounts" again but same error:

The passwd and group files are locked by another user. Please try later.

Any ideas???

TIA

Harry
