Hi managers,
for some kind of reason whenever I run dxaccounts or
adduser for obvious reasons, the system responds with
the following message:
"The password and group files are crrently locked by another user.
Please try again later."
Off course, there is not a single process (at least as reported by ps(1) )
that accesses these files, and nobody else other than me is root.
what (1) reports only one root account currently logged in.
C2 security is not enabled.
And unfortunately, I don't have lsof in order to see any hanged open
files.
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance
PS. The system runs 4.0e patch level 2
