looking forward this problem since rh8, why redhat came with passwd pam.d with lock file?
compare with passwd pam.d that come with mandrake heard, if that can avoid for corrupt database

Hi,
Help. I have an issue adding accounts to a centos box of joy that has otherwise been 100% reliable.
Basically if I run a "useradd test" as root it returns useradd: unable to lock password file.
There is a /etc/passwd.lock file:
[root@bill etc]# more passwd.lock 6697
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND 6697 root 25 0 22672 22M 612 R 47.2 1.1 1:02 1 useradd
Eating lots of cpu... but doing what?
If anyone has any clues I'd really appreciate the help :)
Cheers,
Nick
