[cobalt-developers] Error with user_add in User.pm

["Jason Frisch" <webmaster@xxxxxxxx>]

I am automating user addition but am getting the following error..and ideas?

4999 Cannot lock /etc/locks/ptmp 

the relevant code is...

use Cobalt::Product; # Loads paths, standard variables 
use Cobalt::User; # Loads user-specific functions 

my($rv) = user_add($username,$fullname,$password,$size,'off');

Regards to all
