Information on "Kadmin.local" database lock error

[Abhilash S]

Hello,

I need few information on the kadmin.local utility.

In few occasions am getting error "Cannot lock database while modifying"
when trying to modify or change the password of a principal.
Is it due to lock on KDC principal db file, or in what situations this can
occur.

I am seeing this occurring quite frequently, is there any patch or
workaround available to get rid of this error.
