Platforms Affected:

  • Novell Networks

Symptom:

When trying to enter Teacher Options, a message appears that says ‘another administrator is using this area’. Access to the Teacher Options section is denied.

Solution or Explanation:

This condition is caused by file locks that are modified by some Novell network setups.

  • Verify that the following file exists and is set to Read Only: adminlock.cxt
  • Verify that the following file DOES NOT exist: adminlock.txt.

If these instructions do not resolve the issue immediately, reboot the file server.
