Hi Managers,

When modifing a useraccount dxaccounts reports locked user or password
files. The solution is NOT removing /etc/.AM_is_running, it is not there.

This error message from dxaccounts appears after sending the apply command
from the dialog "Create/Modify NIS User".

I used the tool lslk to check which parts of which files are really
locked. It reported nothing related to any password files at all.

I am using a NIS distributed passwd and prpasswd. C2 is enabled. The
problem exists since upgrading to PatchKit3 for DUV4.0f.

Any clue?

Bye for now
