When TERM for UNIX gives the error, “Non-expired lockfile lck..inittab,” make sure the permissions on the whole structure of /usr/spool/uucp are at least 666 (-rw-rw-rw-).

For TERM for Linux, the directory path is normally /var/spool/uucp. If TERM for Linux is configured for /usr/spool/uucp instead, this error will result even if permissions are correct on /var/spool/uucp.
