I have a server that I cannot add users to. Anytime I run useradd or
adduser I get the error: 'useradd: error opening shadow group file'.
When I look in /etc I have the following files:
group
group.lock
gshadow
gshadow.lock
shadow
shadow.lock
mpasswd
passwd
passwd.lock
I blow away all of the lock files and try again, but I get the same
error and the lock files reappear. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
Brad
