removing users with userdel
 

hi!

im loged inn with root, but when i try to remove a user i get this:

[root@pimp root]# userdel -r ole
userdel: unable to lock group file

[root@pimp root]# userdel ole
userdel: unable to lock group file

What does this mean ?

ole

Hi,

just run this:

ls -l /etc/group*

there should be a file called group.lock or something similar. delete the file and all will be fine.
