Thanks to all the quick responses:
Deleting "/etc/.AM_is_running" resolved the problem.
My original post was:
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
