hi there, las night i tried to install a mail server, i mean postfix. i tried to add 2 users, with useradd or adduser commands but i called off. later when i tried to change some stuff in my passwd file, whitch i tried to edit with "vipw" it keep giving me this message all the time :
bash-3.00# vipw vipw: the passwd file is busy or you cannot lock. i try to add some user in normal mode with ordinary commands and i got this message: bash-3.00# useradd someuser useradd: can't obtain pw_lock: File exists I mention the fact that i've already restarted my box, i took a lock at KERN.SECURELEVEL whitch is 1. Would someone be kind to explain to me what's happen? thx in advance edi
