Hi, I have problem with /usr/sbin/useradd from Red Hat 9.0, I created account registration website and then call script has the following part: system("/usr/sbin/useradd -c\"$fullname\" -d$HOME/$emailadd -g$GROUP -m - k$SKEL -s$SHELL -p$encpass $emailadd"); All the variables are read from user input, after user submit, should create account on my machine. But it does not work. And here is error from the apache http error log: [Fri Dec 05 10:02:40 2003] [error] [client xxx.xx.xxx.xx] useradd: unable to lock password file, referer: to your script. how to fix the lock password file? thanks!
