Cannot Rewrite Password File Error Message
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 on HP Proliant DL380 G4
When adding a group or user, I'm getting this error message;
groupadd test -g 65535 It says "groupadd: cannot rewrite group file"
useradd -u 65535 test "useradd: cannot rewrite password file"
One thing I must say. I loaded this box on Saturday and on first reboot where it tries to register with RHN, Well, I found out RHN was down until about 2PM that day so I left for the day, came back this morning and the box was sitting at a login like it had rebooted over the weekend - maybe we lost power. I was able to login and run up2date --register. I ran all the updates, then rebooted and ran up2date -uf. This worked as well. But when I try to add users or groups I get the above messages.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
