The password and group files are currently locked by another user.

Hello All,

I am trying to add another user and i get the message:

The password and group files are currently locked by another user.

I also have a script that unlock the users if the get lock but it gives the same message.
Has anybody experience this situation ?
Any help will be appreciate.

Thanks
Bruno
