Subject: adduser
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 10:20:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E87FA51.3060100@arrakis.es> (raw)

Mandrake 9.0

control center>system>users
"Cannot lock user lib,
file /etc/ptmp or /etc/gtmp exist".

Yes, both exist.

clm (as root)>
adduser (or useradd, the result is the  same. Which command is preferred?)
"vipw lockfile (/etc/ptmp) is present!"

I cannot find an explanation in the manual.

TIA
Andrew
