i AM USING BSD/OS 2.0 and am having the following problem.

Whenever I have a user accessing the pop server and looses connection, furhter 
connection attempt get a lock error. I tried the man pages and tried looking 
for a lock file but cant find one. The system seems to clean up the problem 
each night but I hate to tell my users they have to wait 24 hours to get a 
fix.  

Can anyone direct me on this.
