thanks to Bruce for the above link,
however I just tried removing the SITEDEL file, per the tip from the 
old July 2000 post:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv stop
rm /etc/locks/SITEDEL
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv start

and this did not entirely fix it ... I rebooted the server,
and I can still see the www.domainx.xyz ip and red "X" in the server 
management site list via the GUI (was site31).

HOWEVER... it does appear to allow me to delete a domain (I'm killing 
site37 right now) and hoping that adding or deleting a domain will 
"Refresh" whatever datafile the GUI uses to keep track of the domain 
list.

I'm detailing this so that future folks who search the archive on 
this topic might find something more recent than mid-2000 - !

Well.. now the domain I deleted today (site37) is gone and out of the 
GUI ... however, the original "gremlin domain" is still listed in the 
GUI.

So,
problem solved: can add/delete domains again (yay)
problem not solved: ghost listing in GUI ...

Does any kind soul have a pointer to fixing the GUI listing to remove 
the gremlin or ghost domain that still appears in the list?

I'll try rebuilding the slocate.db again, but any additional help 
would be appreciated. Thanks folks!

Christopher
