useradd

\_ I've got a problem with adding new users to a RH 6.2 system. useradd says
\_ => adduser: error locking group file...
\_
\_ I've tried cp'ing new group and passwd files to the problem machine. I've
\_ even cp'ed a new binary of useradd just in case the binary got
\_ corrupted. Any ideas?

Someone (root) is editing the file? A system flock() call was issued
but not unflocked? Bad privs/ownership?

ps unflocked is really flock() with differnt arguments....
