While using SCOADMIN to create new accounts after inputting theIf scoadmin is producing any errors they should be found in

the machines. Please advice how to correct the problem without
restarting the Server. Is there any process which needs to be killed.
In the first place why is this happening.
Please advise..

/usr/adm/syslog or /usr/adm/messages.

Is the scoadmin multi Users. Can 3 or 4 users create/delete/amend User
profiles at the same time?

Without source code, it's difficult to tell. If the tool is using 'useradd'
and 'usermod' behind the scenes, which is consistent with the interface's
options, useradd uses lock files to prevent simultaneous editing. It's tricky,
though: one root user's request to change a user's password or shell may be
superceded by another user's request, very shortly thereafter, and become
quite confusing.
This is a fundamental limit of the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow, etc.
flat file system technology for storing account information. Way back in the
old days of UNIX, you had *one* admin, or people who worked together gracefully.
If you need to do this sort of multiple-admin handling of a lot of accounts,
or complex account setups, use 'webmin' rather than scoadmin: it's a much
saner, open sourced, and well-understood interface.- Hide quoted text -

The problem has occured again. Now when we invoke "scoadmin" and
select "Account Manager", the users list does not appear. I have
managed to get the processes related to sco currently running :-
# ps -ef | grep -i "sco"

Can anybody advice if any of the above processes are holding the
passwd/shadow files and not releasing. Can we kill these processes and
try. We are running our core authorization system in this box and I
don't want to take any chances.
