Co. Lines: 12 Okay, I should probably know this, but I'm not familiar with Xenix version 2.2.3 to any real degree. When anyone tries to change their password, the message "temporary file is busy; try again later" (or something very close to that) appears. Unfortunately, we don't have a complete set of manuals here (don't ask *me*, I just got involved with this project) so it's probably documented in one of the manuals we don't have. If someone would email (I don't usually read this particular group) a pointer to the solution or the solution itself, I'll happily shut up :-). Thanks in advance, Brian R.
