locked passwd/group file

On 4.0e,
running adduser gets to
'Adding new user...'
then says the password and group files are currently locked by another
user.
I've just rebooted the box and still get it.
I don't see any locked files in /etc.
Any ideas on where to check?

If I run dxaccounts, I can add a user just file.
