I am still stuck on this problem. I can open all of the user files in
/etc (passwd, shadow, shadow-, group, gshadow, group-, and gshadow-),
but when I try to save something to gshadow it tells me that it is a
read only file.
The system will not allow me to change any permissions on gshadow, nor
will it let me delete it to remake the file. I have searched the web
and found nothing that resembles my problem.
I cannot see where any process is using the file (fuser).
Thoughts?
