Hmm...I was also having an issue adding users from the command line--not sure if it's related to the originally reported issue. But the syntax listed yields for me: [root@home root]# useradd -p testpass testuser useradd: cannot rewrite password file Interestingly, I can still add users using the graphical tools on my gnome desktop without incident...
