I certainly get the utility to work with superserver. So I don't think it's
the utility.
The error message above refers to CreateFile but remember this is used to
open if exists and create if not, so it's really referring to a file opening
error not a file creation error.
If you are running classic I would wonder if one thread has been lef
orphaned with a write handle on the lock file.
I assume you have stopped and started the inetd service and cleared any
server threads?
Can you copy the lock file? send it to me and I'll try to run the utility on
it
