Hi! I'm trying to add users to my vps but i get that error (in the title) I've done some searching and found out that I have to delete some .lock files. So, I looked at my /etc/ and found .pwd.lock so I tried to remove it. But the problem is, I can't delete it I'm getting error that says read-only file system. Help please? In such a case, only your hosting provider can help. If the file system is read-only, the provider need to perform a file system check and take necessary steps accordingly.
