Hello,
I'm trying to add a group using the groupadd command, e.g.
# /usr/sbin/groupadd -r newgroup
but get the error:
groupadd: unable to lock group file
I was able to do it on FC1 and earlier Red Hat editions. What am I doing
wrong? I've tried it both as logging in as root and su'ing to root.
The "Add user & group" GUI utility works, but I need the command line
because I will be setting up systems remotely that are behind a firewall
that only allows SSH through.
Thanks!
