adduser problem

When I try to run adduser I keep recieving the following message:

"The password and group files are currently locked by another user.
Please try again later.
Error, exiting useradd /usr/sbin/adduser. Check /etc/passwd.
# "

I am unable to find a password lock file anywhere in /etc. For example,
.pwd.lock or ptmp, etc.

Does OSF use a differnet locking method? Or is the problem something other
than locking?
