the following users are currently configuring the system: User "admin" on line
vty1 ( 10.1.1.1 ).
NOTE: The CONFIGURATION mode lock corresponds to a VTY session, not a user. Therefore, if you
configure a lock and then exit CONFIGURATION mode, and another user enters CONFIGURATION
mode, when you attempt to re-enter CONFIGURATION mode, you are denied access even though
you are the one that configured the lock.
NOTE: If your session times out and you return to EXEC mode, the CONFIGURATION mode lock is
unconfigured.
