They are temp files that sometimes get left behind when MCC closes down.
Don't know why this happens, but I just delete those files and everything
works fine. Perhaps someone else can shed some light, a bug maybe?

The K3b installer did not have supermount in mind when
it was written. So it does tend to screw up your fstab
if you let it. I was careful to not let k3b write to

I already was having some problems with the mandrake control center before.

Have you tried deleting /etc/ptmp or /etc/gtmp or both if both exist? They
are temp files that get left behind if something goes wrong, and won't damage
anything else.

Hi Anne,
I have considered the idea. However, a cat on these two files show that
they are similar to /etc/passwd, they both belong to root and are both
read-only for all others, look:
[andrei@localhost etc]$ ls -lac gtmp ptmp
-rw-r--r--1 root root 635 Jan 13 10:47 gtmp

Whne accessing Users in the Mandrake Control Centr, I get a message:
Cannot lock usr lib, file /etc/ptmp or /etc/gtmp exist, and then

The file /etc/gtmp exists; if I rename it, I still have the problem.
Any ideas?

Easiest way to solve this is to delete /etc/gtmp AND /etc/ptmp, then
re-open Userdrake.

It looks like it creates these files but doesn't delete them when its
finished.
I also now use Kuser.
