Hi,
Ok $200USD for anyone who can help me fix this now.... rebooted and it doesn't say the file is locked anymore... the useradd command just doesn't die or return anything and just sits there chewing data :(
Man down.
Nick
when you run the useradd, are you doing so as root or via another method?
then check these things as root
cd / ls -axl
check to see if all directories, permissions and ownerships look right for everything from the root dir
then check this file with vi or pico or more or whatever... :-)
/etc/default/useradd
all look ok there?
i always look in /tmp to see if there is any garbage lurking around causing probs even if it isnt necessarily related to exactly what i am looking for at that moment.
a few other things escape me at the moment as i am hungry. back inna few
regards,
